Firstly, can you reproduce this on your test setup, Alain? What is
the size (and number) of the AGs in the filesystem? If you do see
this behaviour, then the alignment code is not the problem...
Note that I did provide an xfstest case in a seperate patch and YES you do
need to make sure that the AG size is bigger then 8Gig for a filesystem
with 4K block size you can reduce that by using a filesystem with a 512
block size and 1Gig AG. look for this patch that I sent to the list.

I don't think that is correct. alignment happens at both the start
and end of the extent, so you need to take into account two lots of
(extsz - 1) blocks of range extension for alignment.
If you look in the function where I put this code is it AFTER the head/len
alignment so the HEAD is already align so I do not need to account for it.
And if you look at the rest of the function we can only decrease the length
and we do return the start and the length not the start and the end.

Why is this removed? What it is checking is that the aligned end
covers the entire range of the original space requested.
This is the logic I am following if the original start was at zero and the
length we passed in was 9G the orig_end would be at 0+9G however the since
we will truncate the 8Gig the align_off + align_alen will be smaller then 9G

This code is allowing for both head and tail extent alignment....
Like I said I think my code does the same thing since when we truncate the
length we already have aligned the head.
Cheers,
Dave.
