fix readahead calculations in xfs_dir2_leaf_getdents()
This is for bug #850,
http://oss.sgi.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=850
XFS file system segfaults , repeatedly and 100% reproducable in 2.6.30 , 2.6.31
The above only showed up on a CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG=y kernel, because
xfs_bmapi() ASSERTs that it has been asked for at least one map,
and it was getting 0.
The root cause is that our guesstimated "bufsize" from xfs_file_readdir
was fairly small, and the
bufsize -= length;
in the loop was going negative - except bufsize is a size_t, so it
was wrapping to a very large number.
Then when we did
ra_want = howmany(bufsize + mp->m_dirblksize,
mp->m_sb.sb_blocksize) - 1;
with that very large number, the (int) ra_want was coming out
negative, and a subsequent compare:
if (1 + ra_want > map_blocks ...
was coming out -true- (negative int compare w/ uint) and we went
back to xfs_bmapi() for more, even though we did not need more,
and asked for 0 maps, and hit the ASSERT.
We have kind of a type mess here, but just keeping bufsize from
going negative is probably sufficient to avoid the problem.
