In xfs_dir2_leaf_addname we ASSERT if the length of the unused space described by bestfree[0] is less the amount of space we wish to consume. Immediately after it is a call to xfs_dir2_data_use_free where the offset parameter is offset of the unused space and the length parameter is the amount of space we wish to consume. Both values (and the unused space pointer) are passed into xfs_dir2_data_check_free, which also validates that the region of unused space is big enough to cover the space we wish to consume. This is effectively the same check that the ASSERT covers, and since a check failure results in a corruption message being logged we can remove the ASSERT. Signed-off-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.
