[PATCH 3.16 118/233] fs/ufs: Set UFS default maximum bytes per file

From: Ben Hutchings

3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Richard Narron <comet.berkeley@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 239e250e4acbc0104d514307029c0839e834a51a upstream.

This fixes a problem with reading files larger than 2GB from a UFS-2
file system:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195721

The incorrect UFS s_maxsize limit became a problem as of commit
c2a9737f45e2 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()")
which started using s_maxbytes to avoid a page index overflow in
do_generic_file_read().

That caused files to be truncated on UFS-2 file systems because the
default maximum file size is 2GB (MAX_NON_LFS) and UFS didn't update it.

Here I simply increase the default to a common value used by other file
systems.
