The high 32 bits is filled with arbitrary value. If hint is set WRITE_LIFE_SHORT (2) by fcntl, the value is 0xf6d1374000000002, which causes rw_hint_valid always returns false. i_write_hint of inode and bi_write_hint of bio are both enum rw_hint. The value would be truncated only if the element value exceeds 2^32.
