Fiemap (ioctl) does not return any extents for small files on ext4.
(fm_start=0, fm_length=filesize)
File affected: fs/ext4/extents.c
I found the reason of the bug: wrong rounding. It will not only affect
small files, but any request that overlaps an extent boundary by less
that blocksize.
The attached patch is against 2.6.32-rc5.
