Oh, also -- I ran the whole codebase through smatch this morning.
Could you please set @err to zero in its declaration above?  If the
first for_each_perag_wrap never manages to get any perag structures
(currently impossible with the codebase) then err will be undefined and
probably nonzero.

  CHECK  fs/xfs/xfs_filestream.c
fs/xfs/xfs_filestream.c:120
xfs_filestream_pick_ag() error: uninitialized symbol 'err'.
