Hello everyone. rw_verify_area() contains a limitation, which means inability to write more then INT_MAX bytes atomically. This tends to be a disadvantage since INT_MAX doesn't look like a huge value nowadays. Moreover, this restriction looks too artificial. I have increased the limit up to rounded down SSIZE_MAX (patch 2) and got an overflow in the direct-io subsystem. However, after fixing the overflow (patch 1), ext3,4 work fine for me so far. Any ideas, if there are other subsystems that expose the INT_MAX limitation? Thanks in advance, -- Edward O.
