Yes, it should be better.  Actually, I have referred to btrfs's code, so
there is a similar function named as "find_desired_extent()". :)
At first, I'd like to make the code works as fast as possible to reduce
some irrelevant operations like trying to collect physical offset,
calculate extent length, etc...
But just as your comments, maintainable is first in this case, I'll fix
it in V2.

Thanks for pointing this out!
