Theodore Ts'o e75ca3babf ext4: fix argument checking in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT
[ Upstream commit f18b2b83a727a3db208308057d2c7945f368e625 ]

If the starting block number of either the source or destination file
exceeds the EOF, EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT should return EINVAL.

Also fixed the helper function mext_check_coverage() so that if the
logical block is beyond EOF, make it return immediately, instead of
looping until the block number wraps all the away around.  This takes
long enough that if there are multiple threads trying to do pound on
an the same inode doing non-sensical things, it can end up triggering
the kernel's soft lockup detector.

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.
