commit eb59bd17d2fa6e5e84fba61a5ebdea984222e6d5 upstream.
If a filesystem returns negative inode sizes, future reads on the file were
causing the cpu to spin on truncate_pagecache.
Create a helper to validate the attributes. This now does two things:
- check the file mode
- check if the file size fits in i_size without overflowing

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
