Do you happen to have a reproducer for this?

The meaning of args->prod (the structure definition comment calls it the
prod value) is not clear to me. I see that we set it to an extent
size hint if one exists (in xfs_bmap_btalloc()), so I'll go with that.
args->mod then becomes the modulo of the file offset against that
alignment hint.

We get here and take the extent length, mod against the alignment and
compare to the mod of the offset.

If the length mod is greater than the offset mod, reduce the length by
the delta of the mods.

Otherwise (length mod is less than offset mod), reduce by a full
alignment size and add back the difference to match the offset mod.

This seems correct to me.

The rlen >= minlen assert seems kind of pointless here, but what about
changing both instances of these two asserts to the following:

	ASSERT(rlen >= args->minlen && rlen <= args->maxlen);

... and add a new one after the length adjustment along the lines of:

	ASSERT((rlen % args->prod) == args->mod);

Thoughts? Would this have caught the problem you've found earlier?
