4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: "Darrick J. Wong" <[email protected]> commit 1bb33a98702d8360947f18a44349df75ba555d5d upstream. After various discussions on linux-fsdevel, it has been decided that it is not necessary to cap the length of a dedupe request, and that correctly-written userspace client programs will be able to absorb the change. Therefore, remove the length clamping behavior. Signed-off-by: Darrick J.
