I had a quick look at nfs_file_direct_write(), and among other things,
it would appear that it is not doing any of the usual overflow checks on
*pos and the count size (see generic_write_checks()). In particular,
checks are missing against overflow vs. MAX_NON_LFS if O_LARGEFILE is
not set (and also against overflow vs. s_maxbytes, but that is less
relevant here).
the architecture is to allow the NFS protocol and server to do these checks.
