The small allocation helper is implemented in a way that is fairly tightly integrated to the existing allocation algorithms. It expects a cntbt cursor beyond the end of the tree, attempts to locate the last record in the tree and only attempts an AGFL allocation if the cntbt is empty. The upcoming generic algorithm doesn't rely on the cntbt processing of this function. It will only call this function when the cntbt doesn't have a big enough extent or is empty and thus AGFL allocation is the only remaining option. Tweak xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_small() to handle a NULL cntbt cursor and skip the cntbt logic. This facilitates use by the existing allocation code and new code that only requires an AGFL allocation attempt.

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.
