ext4: fix 32bit overflow in ext4_ext_find_goal()
ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block
allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is
smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns
a wrong block number because it may overflow at
"block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem.
ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case
a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case,
the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(),
so it's no problem.
reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/tmp bs=127M count=1 oflag=sync
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 seek=1 oflag=sync
# filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file
Filesystem type is: ef53
File size of /mnt/mp1/file is 1048576 (256 blocks, blocksize 4096)
ext logical physical expected length flags
0 128 67456 128 eof

# rm -rf /mnt/mp1/tmp
