Fork of alistair23 Linux kernel for reMarkable from https://github.com/alistair23/linux

Widen the incore inode's i_delayed_blks counter to be a 64-bit integer. This is necessary to fix an integer overflow problem that can be reproduced easily now that we use the counter to track blocks that are assigned to the inode in memory but not on disk. This includes actual delalloc reservations as well as real extents in the COW fork that are waiting to be remapped into the data fork. These 'delayed mapping' blocks can easily exceed 2^32 blocks if one creates a very large sparse file of size approximately 2^33 bytes with one byte written every 2^23 bytes, sets a very large COW extent size hint of 2^23 blocks, reflinks the first file into a second file, and then writes a single byte every 2^23 blocks in the original file. When this happens, we'll try to create approximately 1024 2^23 extent reservations in the COW fork, which will overflow the counter and cause problems. Note that on x64 we end up filling a 4-byte gap in the structure so this doesn't increase the incore size. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
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.
