Good point. How about the attached patch. Whilst I would prefer to use
unsigned long long to avoid the casts, it might

cachefiles: Fix signed/unsigned mixup
In __cachefiles_prepare_write(), the start and pos variables were made
unsigned 64-bit so that the casts in the checking could be got rid of -
which should be fine since absolute file offsets can't be negative, except
that an error code may be obtained from vfs_llseek(), which *would* be
negative. This breaks the error check.
Fix this for now by reverting pos and start to be signed and putting back
the casts. Unfortunately, the error value checks cannot be replaced with
IS_ERR_VALUE() as long might be 32-bits.
