Not able to reproduce. Why is it calling ext4_ext_search_left for that
value of logical ? ext4_ext_get_blocks should have found that the
logical belong to an already existing extent and return from there. It
should have returned from

2365      if (create == EXT4_CREATE_UNINITIALIZED_EXT)
2366               goto out;


root@...u-image:/ext4# /root/testfallocate  -f a 0 100
# FALLOCATE TEST REPORT #
        New blocks preallocated = 0.
        Number of bytes preallocated = 0
        Old file size = 100, New file size 100.
        Old num blocks = 4, New num blocks 4.

root@...u-image:/ext4# /root/testfallocate  -f a 0 100
# FALLOCATE TEST REPORT #
        New blocks preallocated = 0.
        Number of bytes preallocated = 0
        Old file size = 50, New file size 100.
        Old num blocks = 4, New num blocks 4.


### TESTS PASSED ###
root@...u-image:/ext4# ls -alh a
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 100 Jan  9 16:23 a
root@...u-image:/ext4# more /proc/mounts  | grep ext4dev
/dev/hdc /ext4 ext4dev rw,nodelalloc,data=writeback 0 0
root@...u-image:/ext4#

The third fallocate should result in calling ext4_ext_get_blocks two
times. The first call with logical 0 and max 100 and it will return with
allocated 50. Then call again with logical 50 and max 50.

Something else is wrong.
