We need to calculate the max file size accurately if the total blocks that can address by block tree exceed the upper_limit. But this check is not correct now, it only compute the total data blocks but missing metadata blocks are needed. So in the case of "data blocks < upper_limit && total blocks > upper_limit", we will get wrong result. Fortunately, this case could not happen in reality, but it's confused and better to correct the computing. bits data blocks metadatablocks upper_limit 10 16843020 66051 2147483647 11 134480396 263171 1073741823 12 1074791436 1050627 536870911 (*) 13 8594130956 4198403 268435455 (*) 14 68736258060 16785411 134217727 (*) 15 549822930956 67125251 67108863 (*) 16 4398314962956 268468227 33554431 (*) [*] Need to calculate in depth.
