From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Source kernel commit: 9d06960341ec5f45d3d65bdead3fbce753455e8a XFS_FILBLKS_MIN uses min_t and thus does the comparison using the correct xfs_filblks_t type. Use it in xfs_bmapi_write and slightly adjust the comment document th potential pitfall to take account of this Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Reviewed-by: "Darrick J.
