2.6.31-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ (cherry picked from commit bf43d84b185e2ff54598f8c58a5a8e63148b6e90) ext4 will happily mount a > 16T filesystem on a 32-bit box, but this is not safe; writes to the block device will wrap past 16T and the page cache can't index past 16T (232 index * 4k pages). Adding another test to the existing "too many sectors" test should do the trick. Add a comment, a relevant return value, and fix the reference to the CONFIG_LBD(AF) option as well.
