I assume that should be start + end.

It took me a minute to understand.  OK, I get it, the application's not
supposed to issue a GETLK with offset+len too large, so of course it
shouldn't encounter a conflicting lock out there.

I don't think that's true, though, thanks to the special interpretation
of length 0 in the argument; it looks to me like we can find a conflict
with a lock that starts beyond COMPAT_OFF_T_MAX in that case.

I guess that's independent of your patch, though.
