Thank you for your comment, Andreas.

Takashi-san, please, it would make the code much more maintainable if the
changes made here would use new types for filesystem-wide block offsets
and for file-relative block offsets, as was previously discussed, instead
of just changing some variables to be unsigned long.  Like:

typedef unsigned long ext3_fsblk_t; # block offset in the filesystem
typedef unsigned long ext3_fscnt_t; # block count in the filesystem
typedef unsigned long ext3_fileblk_t; # block offset in a file

I agree that, but it will need a lots of work...
Mingming, you got same comment from Andreas in "Extend ext3
filesystem limit from 8TB to 16TB", did you do something about
this?

Cheers, sho
