Richard Narron 239e250e4a fs/ufs: Set UFS default maximum bytes per file
This fixes a problem with reading files larger than 2GB from a UFS-2
file system:

    https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=195721

The incorrect UFS s_maxsize limit became a problem as of commit
c2a9737f45 ("vfs,mm: fix a dead loop in truncate_inode_pages_range()")
which started using s_maxbytes to avoid a page index overflow in
do_generic_file_read().

That caused files to be truncated on UFS-2 file systems because the
default maximum file size is 2GB (MAX_NON_LFS) and UFS didn't update it.

Here I simply increase the default to a common value used by other file
systems.

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.
