On power systems with 64k block size (where default page size is 64k) we
encountered a kernel oops due to an integer overflow issue when writing
near the last logical block of a file. The allocator could allocate a
range where the end exceeds the maximum supported logical block
(UINT32_MAX), leading to a subsequent BUG_ON. This issue has been
addressed in the upstream kernel with commit 2dcf5fde6dff
("ext4: prevent the normalized size from exceeding EXT_MAX_BLOCKS").
