Btrfs devel - Oct 2013 - [BUG] Reflinking fails for files >2GB on 32-bit platform

I want to make you aware of a possible bug in the reflink handling of btrfs:

When I reflink a file larger 2GB (on the same subvol), the reflinking
fails. But it works fine for files smaller 2GB in size.

I was able to track this down to btrfs with great support of Martin
Raiber who created a small demo code:
Source: https://urbackup.atlassian.net/secure/attachment/10201/reflink.cpp
Compile: g++ reflink.cpp -o reflink
Usage: reflink source-file destination-file

Works if source-file is smaller 2GB and errors otherwise.

Environment:
Debian Wheezy 7.2 i386 --> 32 bit
Kernel: 3.10.11-1~bpo70+1 (most recent from wheezy backports rep)

Anything missing? I´m happy to provide additional input!
