There's a check in each set/get helper if the requested range is within
extent buffer bounds, and if it's not then report it. This was in an
ASSERT statement so with CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT this crashes right away, on
other configs this is only reported but reading out of the bounds is
done anyway. There are currently no known reports of this particular
condition failing.
There are some drawbacks though. The behaviour dependence on the
assertions being compiled in or not and a less visible effect of
inlining report_setget_bounds() into each helper.
As the bounds check is expected to succeed almost always it's ok to
inline it but make the report a function and move it out of the helper
completely (__cold puts it to a different section). This also skips
reading/writing the requested range in case it fails.
This improves stack usage significantly:
btrfs_get_16 -48 (80 -> 32)
btrfs_get_32 -48 (80 -> 32)
btrfs_get_64 -48 (80 -> 32)
btrfs_get_8 -48 (72 -> 24)
btrfs_set_16 -56 (88 -> 32)
btrfs_set_32 -56 (88 -> 32)
btrfs_set_64 -56 (88 -> 32)
btrfs_set_8 -48 (80 -> 32)

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 reStructuredText 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.
