When we use lstart + len to calculate the end of free extent or prealloc space, it may exceed the maximum value of 4294967295(0xffffffff) supported by ext4_lblk_t and cause overflow, which may lead to various problems. Therefore, we add two helper functions, extent_logical_end() and pa_logical_end(), to limit the type of end to loff_t, and also convert lstart to loff_t for calculation to avoid overflow.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
