This off-by-one bug causes sendfile() to not work properly. When a task calls sendfile() on a file on a CIFS filesystem, the syscall returns -1 and sets errno to EOVERFLOW. do_sendfile uses s_maxbytes to verify the returned offset of the file. The problem there is that this value is cast to a signed value (loff_t). When this is done on the s_maxbytes value that cifs uses, it becomes negative and the comparisons against it fail. Even though s_maxbytes is an unsigned value, it seems that it's not OK to set it in such a way that it'll end up negative when it's cast to a signed value. These casts happen in other codepaths besides sendfile too, but the VFS is a little hard to follow in this area and I can't be sure if there are other bugs that this will fix. It's not clear to me why s_maxbytes isn't just declared as loff_t in the first place, but either way we still need to fix these values to make sendfile work properly. This is also an opportunity to replace the magic bit-shift values here with the standard #defines for this. This fixes the reproducer program I have that does a sendfile and will probably also fix the situation where apache is serving from a CIFS share.
