Subject: [PATCH 4/7] VFS: Add generic_file_llseek_size

From: Andi Kleen <ak@...ux.intel.com>

Add a generic_file_llseek variant to the VFS that allows passing in
the maximum file size of the file system, instead of always
using maxbytes from the superblock.

This can be used to eliminate some cut'n'paste seek code in ext4.
