Fine. I still don't like the name _validate() so much because it implies yes or no, not length truncating. What's more, if we decide that FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC handling should be done inside this generic helper, we would definitely need to rename it again. So how about going for something a bit more abstract like fiemap_prep() or whatever. What is your take about FIEMAP_FLAG_SYNC handling btw? Thanks, Amir.
