The commit description doesn't match the diff.  It looks like what you
are doing is adding a check in case ext2fs_{block,inode}_bitmap_loc is
zero (which is not bad, but when can that happen; and if it's
something that _can_ happen, should we be triggering an assert
failure), and using ext2fs_mark_block_bitmap_range2() instead of a for
loop.

Is there a back story to this patch?

Thanks,
