This returns -EOVERFLOW when pos=-10 and count=1. What's the intention?
Just to return a different error code other than -EINVAL?
Also it seems you did two behavior changes at the same time: the above
-EOVERFLOW and the below IS_VERYBIG(). Are they tightly coupled?

This could look more nicer:
retval = __negative_fpos_check(inode, pos, count);
if (retval)
return retval;
But they are all minor issues :)
