So the mmap is giving the correct SIGBUS error when we try to do this:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=10k count=1; 
xfs_io -c "mmap -w 0 16384" -c "mwrite 13000 10" test

Logs on bs=64k ps=4k system:
root@debian:/media/test# dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=10k count=1;
root@debian:/media/test# du -sh test 
64K     test

root@debian:/media/test# xfs_io -c "mmap  0 16384" -c "mwrite 13000 10" test
Bus error

The check in filemap_fault takes care of this:

max_idx = DIV_ROUND_UP(i_size_read(inode), PAGE_SIZE);
if (unlikely(index >= max_idx))
        return VM_FAULT_SIGBUS;

The same operation for read should also give a bus error, but it didn't.
Further investigation pointed out that the fault_around() does not take
this condition into account for LBS configuration. When I set fault_around_bytes
to 4096, things worked as expected as we skip fault_around for reads. 

I have a patch that return SIGBUS also for the following read operation:
dd if=/dev/zero of=./test bs=10k count=1; 
xfs_io -c "mmap -r 0 16384" -c "mread 13000 10" test

This is the patch I have for now that fixes fault_around() logic for LBS
configuration:

I will send a new version of the series this week after doing some more
testing.
