The order of operation in rebalance is as follows: gf_defrag_fix_layout - > gf_defrag_process_dir - > gf_defrag_get_entry gf_defrag_process_dir is passing to gf_defrag_get_entry a pointer to a variable 'gf_defrag_get_entry', however this value is ignored (remains unchanged in the method). Based on the return value from gf_defrag_get_entry, gf_defrag_process_dir may change it's return value to the 'magical' number 2, however since the value of 'should_commit_hash' never changes, this never happnes. All of this is propagated back to gf_defrag_fix_layout and is now removed from there as well.

Testing
GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under tests/ directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a .t test file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a .t file for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run ./run-tests.sh. Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
You can also use prove tool if available in your machine, as follows.
bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
