This is a check to ensure that the extents have been read into
memory before we are doing a ifork btree manipulation. This assert
is bogus in the above case.
We have a fragmented directory block that has more extents in it
than can fit in extent format, so the inode data fork is in btree
format. xfs_dir2_shrink_inode() asks to remove all remaining 16
filesystem blocks from the inode so it can convert to short form,
and __xfs_bunmapi() removes all the extents. We now have a data fork
in btree format but have zero extents in the fork. This incorrectly
trips the xfs_need_iread_extents() assert because it assumes that an
empty extent btree means the extent tree has not been read into
memory yet. This is clearly not the case with xfs_bunmapi(), as it
has an explicit call to xfs_iread_extents() in it to pull the
extents into memory before it starts unmapping.
Also, the assert directly after this bogus one is:
ASSERT(ifp->if_format == XFS_DINODE_FMT_BTREE);
Which covers the context in which it is legal to call
xfs_bmap_btree_to_extents just fine. Hence we should just remove the
bogus assert as it is clearly wrong and causes a regression.
The returns the test behaviour to the pre-existing assert failure in
xfs_dir2_shrink_inode() that indicates xfs_bunmapi() has failed to
remove all the extents in the range it was asked to unmap.
