The maximum file size that can be represented by the data fork extent counter in the worst case occurs when all extents are 1 block in length and each block is 1KB in size. With XFS_MAX_EXTCNT_DATA_FORK_SMALL representing maximum extent count and with 1KB sized blocks, a file can reach upto, (2^31) * 1KB = 2TB This is much larger than the theoretical maximum size of a directory i.e. XFS_DIR2_SPACE_SIZE * 3 = ~96GB. Since a directory's inode can never overflow its data fork extent counter, this commit removes all the overflow checks associated with it. xfs_dinode_verify() now performs a rough check to verify if a diretory's data fork is larger than 96GB.

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.
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.
