In both xfs_alloc_cur_finish() and xfs_alloc_ag_vextent_exact(), local variable @afg is tagged as __maybe_unused. Otherwise an unused variable warning would be generated for when building with W=1 and CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG unset. In both cases, the variable is unused as it is only referenced in an ASSERT() call, which is compiled out (in this config). It is generally a poor programming style to use __maybe_unused for variables. The ASSERT() call is to verify that agbno of the end of the extent is within bounds for both functions. @afg is used as an intermediate variable to find the AG length. However xfs_verify_agbext() already exists to verify a valid extent range. The arguments for calling xfs_verify_agbext() are already available, so use that instead. An advantage of using xfs_verify_agbext() is that it verifies that both the start and the end of the extent are within the bounds of the AG and catches overflows.

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.
