Hi Tao,

thanks for the resend!

We should really return -EINVAL in case that start is beyond the
filesystem. However we can not return -EINVAL in case that start+len is
before the first data block, because it would require user to know fs
internals.

So simply doing this, should be enough:

	if (start + len <= first_data_blk)
		goto out;

and the code later

	if (first_group > last_group)
		return -EINVAL;

will handle the rest.

Thanks!
