The first argument passed to qsort() in fsrfs() is an array of "struct
xfs_bulkstat". Hence the two arguments to the cmp() function must be
interpreted as being of type "struct xfs_bulkstat *" as against "struct
xfs_bstat *" that is being used to currently typecast them.

Yikes. Broken since 5.3.0, and the structures have different sizes and
different bs_extents offsets. :(

Fixes: 4cca629d6 ("misc: convert xfrog_bulkstat functions to have v5 semantics")

At least it's only affecting the whole-fs defragment which is generally not
recommended, but is still available and does get used.

I wonder if it explains this bug report:

Jan 07 20:52:44 <Tharn>	hey, quick question... the first time I ran xfs_fsr last night, it ran for 2 hours and looking at the console log, it ended with a lot of "start inode=0" repeating

With my limited understanding of xfs_fsr code, looks like the bug reporter saw
the logs corresponding to the default (i.e. 10) number of passes that xfs_fsr
executes on the inodes of the filesystem. Sorry, I couldn't be of much help in
this case.

It might be a good idea to check bs_version here to avoid future
maintainer screwups <coughs this maintainer>

Thanks for catching this,

Sure, I will write a new patch to add that.
