If a data sector on an OFS floppy contains a value > 0x1e8 (the largest amount of data that fits in the sector after its header), then an Amiga reading the file can return corrupt data, by taking the overlarge size at its word and reading past the end of the buffer it read the disk sector into! The cause: when affs_write_end_ofs() writes data to an OFS filesystem, the new size field for a data block was computed by adding the amount of data currently being written (into the block) to the existing value of the size field. This is correct if you're extending the file at the end, but if you seek backwards in the file and overwrite _existing_ data, it can lead to the size field being larger than the maximum legal value. This commit changes the calculation so that it sets the size field to the max of its previous size and the position within the block that we just wrote up to.

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 reStructuredText 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.
