The following cherry-picked patch fixes the calculation of extents in fiemap.
The commit id in the upstream code is: aca92ff6f57c000d1b4523e383c8bd6b8269b8b1
This patch fixes bug 474597 on LP. Do consider merging this in Lucid.

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: correctly calculate number of blocks for fiemap

http://launchpad.net/bugs/474597

ext4_fiemap() rounds the length of the requested range down to
blocksize, which is is not the true number of blocks that cover the
requested region.  This problem is especially impressive if the user
requests only the first byte of a file: not a single extent will be
reported.

We fix this by calculating the last block of the region and then
subtract to find the number of blocks in the extents.

Surbhi,

it would be better to give a quick summary about what the symptom of it is and
how the fix affects it here. Saves us going to LP and read through it. ;-)

Ok that seems ok.
