f2fs_defragment_range() flushes the range it is about to defragment:

filemap_write_and_wait_range(inode->i_mapping,
pg_start << PAGE_SHIFT,
(pg_end << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1);

pg_start and pg_end are pgoff_t, 32 bits on 32-bit kernels, so both
shifts are evaluated in 32 bits and truncated before they are widened to
the loff_t parameters. pg_end is only capped by the file's page count,
so for a file larger than 4 GiB the shift wraps.

For a 5 GiB file pg_end is 1310720 and the range collapses from
[0, 5 GiB) to [0, 1 GiB), leaving the rest of the dirty pages unwritten
before the blocks are moved. For 8 GiB the shift yields 0, the minus one
makes it (loff_t)-1, and the range becomes [0, LLONG_MAX].

The matching call in f2fs_collapse_range() already casts:

filemap_write_and_wait_range(inode->i_mapping,
(loff_t)index << PAGE_SHIFT,
((loff_t)pg_end << PAGE_SHIFT) - 1);

Do the same here. On i386 the shift changes from "shl $0xc,%ecx" to
"shld", i.e. from a 32-bit shift to a double-precision one.
