Um, I think there is a block (blocksize -1 byte) in gap. And this gap should be used for the next block searching. According to ext4_ext_in_cache(), len=0 means the special case which we have no cache extent, so len=0 should be disallowed. Moreover, if we create the file which has 2^32-1 offset, we can't get extent which starts from this offset with FIEMAP ioctl. That's why I think the maximum file size should be 2^32-1 * blocksize.
