The for_each_perag*() set of macros are hacky in that some (i.e.
those based on sb_agcount) rely on the assumption that perag
iteration terminates naturally with a NULL perag at the specified
end_agno. Others allow for the final AG to have a valid perag and
require the calling function to clean up any potential leftover
xfs_perag reference on termination of the loop.
Aside from providing a subtly inconsistent interface, the former
variant is racy with growfs because growfs can create discoverable
post-eofs perags before the final superblock update that completes
the grow operation and increases sb_agcount. This leads to the
following assert failure (reproduced by xfs/104) in the perag free
path during unmount:
XFS: Assertion failed: atomic_read(&pag->pag_ref) == 0, file: fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_ag.c, line: 195
This occurs because one of the many for_each_perag() loops in the
code that is expected to terminate with a NULL pag (and thus has no
post-loop xfs_perag_put() check) raced with a growfs and found a
non-NULL post-EOFS perag, but terminated naturally based on the
end_agno check without releasing the post-EOFS perag.
Rework the iteration logic to lift the agno check from the main for
loop conditional to the iteration helper function. The for loop now
purely terminates on a NULL pag and xfs_perag_next() avoids taking a
reference to any perag beyond end_agno in the first place.

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.
