xfs_da3_path_shift() could see state->path.blk[-1] because
state->path.active == 1 is a valid state when it tries to add an entry
to a single dir leaf block and then to shift forward to see if
there's a sibling block that would be a better place to put the new
entry.

 UBSAN: Undefined behaviour in fs/xfs/libxfs/xfs_da_btree.c:1989:14

I think this needs a better explanation.  Something like:

In xfs_da3_path_shift() blk can be assigned to state->path.blk[-1] if
state->path.active is 1 (which is a valid state) when it tries to add an
entry > to a single dir leaf block and then to shift forward to see if
there's a sibling block that would be a better place to put the new
entry.  This causes a KASAN warning given negative array indices are
undefined behavior in C.  In practice the warning is entirely harmless
given that blk is never dereference in this case, but it is still better
to fix up the warning and slightly improve the code.

Agree. This is better.

Darrick, do you need me to send a v3 for it or you could squash this in?

Please send a v3.  The code in v2 looked fine to me.
