From: Jie Liu <jeff.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> Write a file with an offset greater than 16TB on 32-bit system and then trigger page write-back via sync(1) as below will cause the task hang in a little while: INFO: task sync:2590 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

With the same tests to above, run unmount(8) will cause kernel panic if CONFIG_XFS_DEBUG is enabled: XFS: Assertion failed: XFS_FORCED_SHUTDOWN(ip->i_mount) || \ ip->i_delayed_blks == 0, file: fs/xfs/xfs_super.c, line: 964 kernel BUG at fs/xfs/xfs_message.c:108! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP task: edddc100 ti: ec6ee000 task.ti: ec6ee000 EIP: 0060:[<f83d87cb>] EFLAGS: 00010296 CPU: 1 EIP is at assfail+0x2b/0x30 [xfs] ..............
