During the "insert range" fallocate operation, i_size grows by the
specified 'len' bytes. XFS verifies that i_size + len < s_maxbytes, as
it should. But this comparison is done using the signed 'loff_t', and
'i_size + len' can wrap around to a negative value, causing the check to
incorrectly pass, resulting in an inode with "negative" i_size. This is
possible on 64-bit platforms, where XFS sets s_maxbytes = LLONG_MAX.
ext4 and f2fs don't run into this because they set a smaller s_maxbytes.
Fix it by using subtraction instead.
Reproducer:
xfs_io -f file -c "truncate $(((1<<63)-1))" -c "finsert 0 4096"

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
