It does not take effect when maxpct is specified as 0.

Firstly, the man mkfs.xfs shows that setting maxpct to 0 means that all of the filesystem can become inode blocks.
However, when using mkfs.xfs and specifying maxpct = 0, the result is not as expected.
        [root@fs ~]# mkfs.xfs -f -i maxpct=0 xfs.img
        data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=262144, imaxpct=25
                 =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks

The reason is that the judging condition will never succeed when specifying maxpct = 0. As a result, the default algorithm was applied.
    cfg->imaxpct = cli->imaxpct;
    if (cfg->imaxpct)
        return;
It's important that maxpct can be set to 0 within the kernel xfs code.

The result with patch:
        [root@fs ~]# mkfs.xfs -f -i maxpct=0 xfs.img
        data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=262144, imaxpct=0
                 =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks

        [root@fs ~]# mkfs.xfs -f xfs.img
        data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=262144, imaxpct=25
                 =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks

Style note: Please don't start the first sentence of the first paragraph
with "It".  Introduce what you're talking about, e.g.

"If a filesystem has the sb_imax_pct field set to zero, there is no
limit to the number of inode blocks in the filesystem."

Bugfixes really ought to have a fixes tag, even for xfsprogs.

Might want to leave a comment about what -1 means?

		.imaxpct = -1, /* set sb_imax_pct automatically */

With those bits cleaned up and this added:
