A more detailed description would be nice for the change logs.

This second branch seems wrong to me:

	startoff = got.br_startoff - offset_shift_fsb;
and
	got.br_startoff = xfs_bmbt_get_startoff(gotp)).

I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to check in this case -
perhaps some basic ascii art to describe the two cases is in order
here:

	left	hole		got
	+-------+hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh+---------+
	LS      LE              GS        GE
		HS              HE

The first is checking that GS - offset_shift_fsb is greater than LE.
i.e the shift doesn't overrun the hole betwenn LE and GS.

	left	hole		got
	+-------+hhhhhhhhhhhhhhh+---------+
	LS      LE              GS        GE
		HS              HE
	+-------+hhhhhhh+---------+
	LS      LE      GS'       GE'
		HS      HE'

The second I can't visualise from the code or comment....

Whitespace comment - a more compact form is the typical XFS
convention if it will fit in 80 columns:

			error = xfs_bmbt_lookup_eq(cur, got.br_startoff,
						   got.br_startblock,
						   got.br_blockcount, &i);

				got.br_blockcount?

Use an } else {} for this, and the goto can be removed.

This can probably go in the function header as part of describing
the overall algorithm the code is using.

Right, but you've only reserved blocks for a single BMBT split
through XFS_DIOSTRAT_SPACE_RES(). In cases of allocation, adjacent
offset allocation is guaranteed to only require one split at most
and hence it's safe from that perspective. However, I can see how a
shift can require a split on the first extent move, and a merge on
the second. e.g:


		left		middle		right
before		maxrecs		minrecs + 1	minrecs
first shift	maxrecs + 1	minrecs		minrecs
		split
		maxrecs / 2	minrecs		minrecs
second shift
		maxrecs/2 + 1	minrecs - 1	minrecs
				merge		merge
				minrecs*2 - 1	(freed)

So the question is whether the transaction reservations (both log
space and block allocation requirements) are covered.

And that should really have a #define associated with it. ie.:

#define XFS_BMAP_MAX_SHIFT_EXTENTS	2

And document the constraints that lead to that number with the
definition.

Overall, all I'm really looking for here is sufficient comments to
document the constraints the code is operating under. Functionally
the code looks correct (apart from the branch above I can't work
out). Mostly I just want to make sure that in a couple of
years time I don't have to work it all out from first principles
again. ;)

Cheers,

Dave.
