There's an overflow bug in the realtime allocator. If the rt volume is large enough to handle a single allocation request that is larger than the maximum bmap extent length and the rt bitmap ends exactly on a bitmap block boundary, it's possible that the near allocator will try to check the freeness of a range that extends past the end of the bitmap. This fails with a corruption error and shuts down the fs. Therefore, constrain maxlen so that the range scan cannot run off the end of the rt bitmap. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.

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.
