I think, we found your problem.

ext3_getblk() is not handling HOLE correctly. Does this patch help ?
Mingming, what do you think ?

Thanks,
Badari

ext3_get_blocks_handle() returns number of blocks it mapped.
It returns 0 in case of HOLE. ext3_getblk() should handle
HOLE properly (currently its dumping warning stack and
returning -EIO).
