It makes sense to widen the logic to catch anything that starts before yet extends past max offset, assuming we aren't actually checking that anywhere else. > I'm not sure I follow why you feel the message needs to change with > my version: > > + /* Ensure this extent does not extend beyond the max offset */ > + if (irec.br_startoff + irec.br_blockcount - 1 > > + fs_max_file_offset) { > do_warn( > _("inode %" PRIu64 " - extent offset too large - start %" PRIu64 ", " > "count %" PRIu64 ", offset %" PRIu64 "\n"), > ino, irec.br_startblock, irec.br_blockcount, > irec.br_startoff); > > If any (block) offset in the file is beyond the max, then we say the offset is > too large, and give it's physical block, its length, and its starting offset > (granted, the message is a bit *weird* - br_startblock really doesn't matter > here, but I don't think I've fundamentally changed the meaning of the test). As discussed on irc, I read "extent offset" as the offset of the extent in the file, so it seemed a bit confusing if br_startoff isn't necessarily the problem.
