Sorry for not answeriung your other mails, I'm busy, but I just saw this
patch:

If that means that fiemap is no longer read-only but changes the layout, by
moving the data out of the inode, it's buggy - the correct way is to flag
those extents with FIEMAP_EXTENT_DATA_INLINE (and/or possibly other flags).
I didn't investigate the code, so maybe I am completely off here, just
guessing, really. If not, fiemap really is there to map the data extents, not
to de-optimise the filesystem. It's especially bad as fiemap is used by a lot
of tools to map disk layout.
If I am wrong, then please ignore my random mail here :)
