Actually, this issue isn't specific to 1k blocks, so I wouldn't count on
it :) That block size in my tests is an artifact of the initial
reproducer Lukas had (generic/270 on ext3 with 1k blocks). It just so
happens that the start/len arguments fsstress chooses for punch hole
operations in that setup straddles the indirect tree levels in the wrong
ways.

No problem, I'll have a go at it.

I'll take that into account.


Thanks, everyone!
