Thanks for your report, looks this problem has existed over years.
As a quick response, could you please try the below fix?

From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu at oracle.com>

Call fiemap ioctl(2) with given start offset as well as an desired
mapping range should show extents if possible.  However, we calculate
the end offset of mapping via 'mapping_end -= cpos' before iterating
the extent records which would cause problems, e.g,

Cluster size 4096:
debugfs.ocfs2 1.6.3
        Block Size Bits: 12   Cluster Size Bits: 12

The extended fiemap test utility From David:
https://gist.github.com/anonymous/6172331

# dd if=/dev/urandom of=/ocfs2/test_file bs=1M count=1000
# ./fiemap /ocfs2/test_file 4096 10
start: 4096, length: 10
File /ocfs2/test_file has 0 extents:
#	Logical          Physical         Length           Flags
	^^^^^ <-- No extents

In this case, at ocfs2_fiemap(): cpos == mapping_end == 1. Hence the
loop of searching extent records was not executed at all.

This patch remove the in question 'mapping_end -= cpos', and loops
until the cpos is larger than the mapping_end instead.

# ./fiemap /ocfs2/test_file 4096 10
start: 4096, length: 10
File /ocfs2/test_file has 1 extents:
#	Logical          Physical         Length           Flags
0:	0000000000000000 0000000056a01000 0000000006a00000 0000
