[PATCH] NFS O_DIRECT offset wrap bug

[Chuck Lever]

hi marcelo-

here's an obvious mistake i made in the NFS O_DIRECT implementation.  a
missing type cast causes the offset of direct read and write requests to
wrap at 4GB.  please include this in 2.4.24-pre2.

as far as i can tell, this is not a problem for 2.6 NFS O_DIRECT.
