Commit 3779473246 breaks the return of error codes from ext4_ext_handle_uninitialized_extents() in ext4_ext_map_blocks(). A portion of the patch assigns that function's signed integer return value to an unsigned int. Consequently, negatively valued error codes are lost and can be treated as a bogus allocated block count.
