Why is it calling ext4_ext_search_left for that value of logical ? ext4_ext_get_blocks should have found that the logical belong to an already existing extent and return from there. It should have returned from 2365 if (create == EXT4_CREATE_UNINITIALIZED_EXT) 2366 goto out; root@qemu-image:/ext4# /root/testfallocate -f a 0 100 # FALLOCATE TEST REPORT # New blocks preallocated = 0.
