Oh. Indeed That is my mistake.

ret = ext4_fiemap(inode, &fie, offset, maxsize - offset);
/* No extents found, EOF */
if (!fie.fi_extents_mapped) {
     ret = -ENXIO;
     break;
  }                                                                           
Delalloc case handled incorrectly. Will fix that ASAP.
