Overall, this function tries to find and invalidate all buffers for a
given extent of space on the data device. The inner for loop in this
function tries to find all xfs_bufs for a given daddr. The lengths of
all possible cached buffers range from 1 fsblock to the largest needed
to contain a 64k xattr value (~17fsb). The scan is capped to avoid
looking at anything buffer going past the given extent.
Unfortunately, the loop continuation test is wrong -- max_fsbs is the
largest size we want to scan, not one past that. Put another way, this
loop is actually 1-indexed, not 0-indexed. Therefore, the continuation
test should use <=, not <.
As a result, online repairs of btree blocks fails to stale any buffers
for btrees that are being torn down, which causes later assertions in
the buffer cache when another thread creates a different-sized buffer.
This happens in xfs/709 when allocating an inode cluster buffer:

A later refactoring patch in the online repair series fixed this by
accident, which is why I didn't notice this until I started testing only
the patches that are likely to end up in 6.8.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
