I am not quite clear what bad things happen when  ext4_find_next_bit()
returns greater than max?   Not sure why we need to force it return
within the range..

Just looking at the code it seems all handles properly that if the
return > max,  only one is missing is checking in  t ext4_find_next_bit
(),  (as the lustr e patch does), no?

I missed something basic here,  why we need to check ret against the
tmpmax instead of the max after adjust? (Actually not quite sure why we
need to correct the address in the first place).
