The description here of PHYS_LENGTH makes sense... The patch description should also mention the name of the new member, namely "fe_phys_length" > +#define FIEMAP_EXTENT_PHYS_LENGTH 0x00000010 /* Physical length of extent > + * not the same as logical */ But the comment doesn't match. This implies that if PHYS_LENGTH is set, fe_phys_length != fe_logi_length, but I don't think that is necessarily correct. I think it makes more sense to just set PHYS_LENGTH when fe_phys_length is valid, and if PHYS_LENGTH is not set then fe_phys_length aware applications should just use fe_phys_length = fe_logi_length, and older applications would just use fe_length for both as they would already today.
