Sorry. I haven't explained myself properly last time.
What I meant is that it hurts my eyes to see generic_write_checks() and
generic_remap_check_limits() which from the line of (limit != RLIM_INFINITY)
are exactly the same thing. Yes, generic_remap_check_limits() uses
iov_iter_truncate(), but that's a minor semantic change - it can be easily
resolved by creating a dummy iter in generic_remap_checks() instead of
passing int *count.

You could say that this is nit picking, but the very reason this patch
set exists
it because clone/dedup implementation did not use the same range checks
of write to begin with, so it just seems wrong to diverge them at this point.

So to be clear, I suggest that generic_write_checks() should use your
generic_remap_check_limits() helper.
If you disagree and others can live with this minor duplication, fine by me.

Thanks,
Amir.
