It is only set if reading the AGF gets a EAGAIN error. Just return the EAGAIN error and handle that error in the callers. This means we can remove the not_init parameter from xfs_bmap_select_minlen(), too, because the use of not_init there is pessimistic. If we can't read the agf, it won't increase blen. The only time we actually care whether we checked all the AGFs for contiguous free space is when the best length is less than the minimum allocation length. If not_init is set, then we ignore blen and set the minimum alloc length to the absolute minimum, not the best length we know already is present. However, if blen is less than the minimum we're going to ignore it anyway, regardless of whether we scanned all the AGFs or not. Hence not_init can go away, because we only use if blen is good from the scanned AGs otherwise we ignore it altogether and use minlen.

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.
