Now imagine that he sends a write but it spans multiple extents in the FS. And he gets EINVAL once again. Is it any different from what I propose?
If a user follows the current rules, they will not get a write which spans multiple extents and hence no -EINVAL. That is how it works for ext4, anyway.
