What I think it happens for the reproducer that I proposed, is that when
both {l, h}->fmr_device have value zero, the code exits early before
getting the fsmap:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/fs/ext4/fsmap.c?h=v6.2-rc8#n691

Also, to my untrained fs eye it seems that the [-d|-l|-r] xfs_io's fsmap
options are intended only for XFS, as the {data, log, realtime} sections
are XFS specific. I wonder why "struct fs_path" from libfrog/paths.h is
not renamed to "struct xfs_path", it would have been less confusing.

It looks there's no support for xfs_io to query for a start and end
offset when asking for a fsmap on an ext4 fs. I'm checking how I can
extend the xfs_io fsmap ext4 support to validate my assumptions.

Cheers,
ta
