[PATCH 2/4] vfs: explicitly cast s_maxbytes in fiemap_check_ranges

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Fri Aug 07 2009 - 14:58:15 EST


If fiemap_check_ranges is passed a large enough value, then it's
possible that the value would be cast to a signed value for comparison
against s_maxbytes when we change it to loff_t. Make sure that doesn't
happen by explicitly casting s_maxbytes to an unsigned value for the
purposes of comparison.
