File range remapping, if allowed to run past the destination file's EOF, is an optimization on a regular file write. Regular file writes that extend the file length are subject to various constraints which are not checked by range cloning. This is a correctness problem because we're never allowed to touch ranges that the page cache can't support (s_maxbytes); we're not supposed to deal with large offsets (MAX_NON_LFS) if O_LARGEFILE isn't set; and we must obey resource limits (RLIMIT_FSIZE). Therefore, add these checks to the new generic_remap_checks function so that we curtail unexpected behavior. 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.
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.
