Yes, that's what I keep saying. The common way to do this is:

	align = xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize(ip);
	if (align > mp->m_blocksize)
		end_fsb = roundup_64(end_fsb, align);

Wrapping that into a helper might be appropriate, though we'd need
wrappers for aligning both the start (down) and end (up).

To make this work, the xfs_inode_alloc_unitsize() code needs to grow
a forcealign check. That overrides the RT rextsize value (force
align on RT should work the same as it does on data devs) and needs
to look like this:

	unsigned int		blocks = 1;

+	if (xfs_inode_has_forcealign(ip)
+		blocks = ip->i_extsize;
-	if (XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE(ip))
+	else if (XFS_IS_REALTIME_INODE(ip))
                blocks = ip->i_mount->m_sb.sb_rextsize;

        return XFS_FSB_TO_B(ip->i_mount, blocks);

Yes, that's what I keep saying. There is no difference in the
alignment behaviour needed for "xfs_inode_has_bigrtalloc" and
"xfs_inode_has_forcealign" except for the source of the allocation
alignment value.
