How does it guarantee that? The logic:
if (ar->pleft && start <= ar->lleft) {
size -= ar->lleft + 1 - start;
start = ar->lleft + 1;
}
can move 'start' to further blocks...

OK, but what guarantees that ac_o_ex.fe_logical < UINT_MAX - size?

Sorry, I still disagree. After some more code reading I agree that
ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical is the logical block where we want allocated blocks
to be placed in the inode so logical extent of allocated blocks should include
ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical. But I would be reluctant to make assertion you
suggest unless we make sure ac->ac_o_ex.fe_logical in unallocated (in which
case we can also remove some other code from ext4_mb_normalize_request()).
