[LU-16480] Lustre fiemap does not properly handle fm_extent_count=0

• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Major
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 2.16.0

Description

"fm_extent_count specifies the number of elements in the fm_extents[] array that can be used to return extents. If fm_extent_count is zero, then the fm_extents[] array is ignored (no extents will be returned), and the fm_mapped_extents count will hold the number of extents needed in fm_extents[] to hold the file’s current mapping."

In practice, depending on the state of the kernel thread stack, EINVAL can be returned to userspace even for simple single stripe files.

 

Details will follow.
