You're both right. The code have to be reorganized. The
ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() is ugly as hell, but luckily that will be
resolved with extent status tree patches from Zheng Liu, however the
indirection in ext4_ext_walk_space() and the callback business
is also pointless.

I have prepared a path to fix this and I am going to test this
right not. Basically it will:

1. remove the callback

2. rename functions
	ext4_ext_walk_space -> ext4_fill_fiemap_extents
	ext4_ext_fiemap_cb -> ext4_find_delayed_extent

3. put fiemap_fill_next_extent() into ext4_fill_fiemap_extents)_

4. Call ext4_find_delayed_extent() only for non existing extents

5. Use GFP_NOFS in ext4_find_delayed_extent()

5. hold the i_data_sem for:
	ext4_ext_find_extent()
	ext4_ext_next_allocated_block()
	ext4_find_delayed_extent()

6. call fiemap_fill_next_extent after releasing the i_data_sem

does it sounds ok?

There are some collisions with extent status tree patches, but it
could be easily resolved depending on which goes in first.

I am going to test the patch now, so this is entirely untested and
possibly still contains bugs, but if you're interested to see how it
looks like, here it is:



---
I should probably split that into two parts to make the changes
clearer, because removing the if (newex->ec_start == 0) in the old
ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() obfuscated it a lot.
