generic_fadvise() sets endbyte = -1 to specify end of file (i.e. if length == 0 is passed from userspace). Most other callers to filemap_fdatawrite_range() use LLONG_MAX for this purpose, particularly if they also call fdatawait_range() (which requires end >= start). For example, sync_file_range(), vfs_fsync() (where the range is passed down through per-fs ->fsync() callbacks), filemap_flush(), etc. generic_fadvise() does not currently wait on writeback, but fix the call up to be consistent with other callers.
