hello,
some hours i have looked for any changes and issues existing to this already, 
but did not found any. which is hopefully correct.

PATCH V2 12/12 (2017-12-08 10:59:57 -050) introduced
_check_data_dev_sectors in raid.c

Calculation in there uses
to_sector(unsigned long n)

of a loff_t value returned by used i_size_read routine. Which is a long long 
type afaik. At a LP32 system, this results in a wrong value and intended check 
fails, which is expected to be wrong. At LP64, it should work of course. See 
example values at a used system (arm 32bit, 862GB raid1) below.

I might be wrong, if there is, may you please provide a hint to me how to 
proceed here? Currently, there's no perfect patch available here, just started 
investigating the source due to this behavior.

Thanks a lot & regards,
Jörg
