We pass whichfork just for this debug check. Can you pull this up
to the callers?

Urk. So this is encoding caller logic directly into this function.
ie. the grow cases uses krealloc() which copies the keys and
pointers but still needs the pointers moved. The buffer is large
enough for that, so it passes src and dst as the same buffer and
this code then jumps out after copying the ptrs (a second time) to
their final resting place.

And here we do the key copy for the shrink case where we technically
don't need separate buffers but we really want to minimise memory
usage if we can so we reallocate a smaller buffer and free the
original larger one.

Given this, I think this code is more natural by doing all the
allocate/free/copy ourselves instead of using krealloc() and it's
implicit copy for one of the cases.

i.e. rename this function xfs_ifork_realloc_broot() and make it do
this:

{
struct xfs_btree_block *src = ifp->if_broot;
struct xfs_btree_block *dst = NULL;

if (!numrecs)
goto out_free_src;

dst = kmalloc(new_size);

/* copy block header */
memcpy(dst, src, xfs_bmbt_block_len(mp));

/* copy records */
sptr = xfs_bmbt_key_addr(mp, src, 1);
dptr = xfs_bmbt_key_addr(mp, dst, 1);
memcpy(dptr, sptr, numrecs * sizeof(struct xfs_bmbt_key));

/* copy pointers */
sptr = xfs_bmap_broot_ptr_addr(mp, src_broot, 1, src_bytes);
dptr = xfs_bmap_broot_ptr_addr(mp, dst_broot, 1, dst_bytes);
memmove(dptr, sptr, numrecs * sizeof(xfs_fsblock_t));

out_free_src:
kfree(src);
ifp->if_broot = dst;
ifp->if_broot_bytes = new_size;
}

And the callers are now both:

xfs_ifork_realloc_broot(mp, ifp, new_size, old_size, numrecs);

This also naturally handles the "reduce to zero size" without
needing any special case code, it avoids the double pointer copy on
grow, and the operation logic is simple, obvious and easy to
understand...
