xfs_bmapi_write() always expects a valid firstblock pointer. It immediately dereferences the pointer to help determine how to initialize the bma.minleft field. The remaining accesses are related to modifying btree format forks, which is only relevant for !COW fork callers. The reflink code passes a NULL transaction to xfs_bmapi_write() in a couple places that do COW fork unwritten conversion. The purpose of the firstblock field is to track the first block allocation in the current transaction, so technically firstblock should not be required for these callers either. Tweak xfs_bmapi_write() to initialize the bma correctly without accessing the firstblock pointer if no transaction is provided in the first place. Update the reflink callers to pass NULL instead of otherwise unused firstblock references.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
