Did you mean something like SSIZE_MAX for replacing LONG_MAX?  That's
a good question since we have ssize_t.

I tried to grep `LONG_MAX' and `size'.  The only place I have found
so far is the following:

fs/xfs/xfs_aops.c:1247, in __xfs_get_blocks()

	if (mapping_size > LONG_MAX)
		mapping_size = LONG_MAX;

	bh_result->b_size = mapping_size;

Not sure if SSIZE_MAX works better here (`b_size' is size_t).
