The following cherry-picked patch fixes the calculation of extents in fiemap.
Without this patch a user of fiemap could be misled into thinking that there
are no extents in a file when actually there are. This patch is necessary for
code such as ureadahead which uses fiemap to find out if the file extents have
increased.

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

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.

Ok, looks good to me now.

Brad, thanks for pointing this out. 

The patch that actually got into the linux kernel does seem to have the
additional check (missing from whats on launchpad)
+if (last_blk>= EXT_MAX_BLOCK)
+	last_blk = EXT_MAX_BLOCK-1;
This check seems necessary for the corner case.

I have pointed the difference out on the buglink too.

Warm Regards,
Surbhi.

That implies that there is a better patch out there.  Am I expecting
that patch to be posted instead here?

Hi Folks,

I was not clear enough about this patch before.

The patch that I picked was cherry picked from upstream and is the 
correct patch. The one on launchpad was obsolete and I have not picked 
that one. Please do consider this patch (cherry picked from upstream) 
for Lucid.

Thanks!

Warm Regards,
Surbhi.

Surbhi, the patch will now hit after release so the bug will need the
SRU justification filling in and the right people subscribing etc.
Thanks!
