There's no point checking for overflow on the range start - what we
need to check is whether it is larger than the size of the
filesystem. We do that after the conversion of range.start to basic
blocks, so that check needs to be promoted to before this. i.e.

if (range.start >= XFS_FSB_TO_B(mp, mp->m_sb.sb_dblocks))
return -XFS_ERROR(EINVAL);

And that will prevent the overflow in BTOBB() just as effectively...

Cheers,

Dave.
