XFS: attempt to access beyond end of device

[Amit Sahrawat]

Hi,

While trying to open a file with a large number of extents in append
mode – it resulted in the below error logs continually.
I was trying to open the file in append mode, but it showed error, so
I checked for the extents – it has around 2238 extents. Although, it
is not repetitive, when I try on next mount and write – it is working
fine at times.
Also, the system does not seem to be corrupted. Since, running
xfs_repair after umount does not show any errors.
I am getting this on highly fragmented files.

Test Case: I am looking for a regular pattern for this; I will share
as soon as I get more information in this.

Please provide any help to this.
