/mnt/mp1/file1
 ext logical physical expected length flags
   0       0    49153            8192
   1    8192    77825    57344   2048 eof

For example, we do filefrag command for a above file (file1).
FS_IOC_FIEMAP tries to get whole extents information of file1,
so the output has to be 2 extents.
In this case, fm_length (requested block length) is passed
from the user-space to the kernel-space, as follows:

<user-space>
filefrag:
	fiemap->fm_start(0) fiemap->fm_length(~0ULL)

<kernel-space>
fs/ioctl.c ioctl_fimap():

filemap_check_ranges():
	len(~0ULL)
	new_len(4398046511103 = s_maxbytes)  <--- Because 'len > s_maxbytes'

fs/ext4/extents.c ext4_fiemap():
	last_blk = start(0) + len(4398046511103) - 1 >> s_blocksize_bits(11)
	         = 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF)
	len_blks = 4294967295 + 1 (0xFFFFFFFF + 0x00000001)
		 = 4294967296 (0x100000000)  <--- _OVERFLOW!!_
	
ext4_ext_walk_space():
	num = 0

This overflow leads to incorrect output like the below,
even though 2 extents exist.

[root@bsd086 akira]# filefrag -v  /mnt/mp1/file1
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /mnt/mp1/file1 is 10485760 (10240 blocks, blocksize 1024)
 ext logical physical expected length flags
/mnt/mp1/file6: 1 extent found
