The bmbt cursor private structure has a firstblock field that is used to maintain locking order on bmbt allocations. The field holds an actual firstblock value (as opposed to a pointer), so it is initialized on cursor creation, updated on allocation and then the value is transferred back to the source before the cursor is destroyed. This value is always transferred from and back to the ->t_firstblock field. Since xfs_btree_cur already carries a reference to the transaction, we can remove this field from xfs_btree_cur and the associated copying. The bmbt allocations will update the value in the transaction directly. Signed-off-by: Brian Foster <bfoster@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Darrick J.

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.
