But XA_MARK_MAX is inclusive:

include/linux/xarray.h:#define XA_MARK_MAX              XA_MARK_2

so we actually want to access XA_MARK_MAX.  Now, we don't have a test
in the test-suite that fails as a result of your patch, so that needs to get
fixed.  How about this:

Subject: [PATCH] XArray tests: Check mark 2 gets squashed

We do not currently check that the loop in xas_squash_marks() doesn't have
an off-by-one error in it.  It didn't, but a patch which introduced an
off-by-one error wasn't caught by any existing test.  Switch the roles
of XA_MARK_1 and XA_MARK_2 to catch that bug.
