Shouldn't it rather be > (u64)(pgoff_t)(~0ULL) << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits)? Argh that was my fault... Thankfully not too many 1k-blocksize-formatted 16T devices out there, I guess. I went through the math again and also came up with: total fs pages is blocks / (blocks per page) total pages is blocks / (1 << PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT / 1 << blocksize_bits) total pages is blocks / (1 << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits)) total pages is blocks * (1 >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits)) total pages is blocks >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) too big if total pages is > (pgoff_t)(~0ULL) too big if blocks >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) > (pgoff_t)(~0ULL) too big if blocks > (pgoff_t)(~0ULL) << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) and to not overflow: too big if blocks > (u64)(pgoff_t)(~0ULL) << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) so seems like the test is: last_fs_block > (u64)(pgoff_t)(~0ULL) << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) Given the density of the logic in the helper it seems like maybe breaking it up and adding specific comments might be helpful to the reader: /* can IO layers fit total fs sectors in a sector_t? */ if (last_fs_block > (sector_t)(~0ULL) >> (blocksize_bits - 9)) return -EFBIG; /* can page cache fit total fs pages in a pgoff_t? */ if (last_fs_block > (u64)(pgoff_t)(~0ULL) << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blocksize_bits) return -EFBIG; Or something like that.
