Could you please show your test cases about the fiemap issue against XFS?
I'd like to dig into it if that is still existing in upstream code base.

XFS has #fiemap extent intervals limitted in kernel, so if we do not
use seek_data, seek_hole. It will lead to getting a wrong fiemap

security before Jewel with enabling filestore_seek_data_hole.
