Sorry for the delay.  I've been trying to put together a simpler
reproducer since no one wants to debug a filesystem based on rbd
symptoms :).  It doesn't appear to be related to using extsize on a
non-empty file. The linked archive below has a reproducer
(xfs_extsize_reproducer.cc), an input op sequence (trimmed-ops.in),
the resulting file and what it should be (test, test.correct), and a
summary (notes.txt).

http://filedump.ceph.com/samuelj/reproducer.tgz

I think this probably is fixed in the commit mentioned above (xfs: Use
preallocation for inodes with extsz hints).

Thanks!
