Problem is, it screws up xfstests because it changes all the error messages that are output to stderr and captured by the test harness. There are quite a few tests that this causes failures for, and because it's stderr, it's not as simple as just adding a new filter to do 'sed -e "s/^\(.*\)64\(: .*$\)/\1\2/"' on stderr. Further, errors returned change, which further screws up xfstests. e.g. old code gives EFBIG when we try to use offsets beyond the supported range, this patchset returns EINVAL. That further complicates any sort of error filtering we'll need to do. I don't have the time or patience to fix up xfstests for every change that people want to make and this series is a non-critical cleanup, so I'm dropping this until the fixups for xfstests are worked out. I'm not going to get to this for weeks at the current rate patches are being thrown at me for inclusion, so I'm not breaking xfstests for everyone while I'm bottlenecked on other, higher priority changes.
