Interesting choice of constant.

Yes. I didn't spend a long time thinking about whether it should be 2^31 or 2^31-1 or 2^31-2. It will be a while before it becomes an issue in real life anyway. :)

Uhm, I think his point is that "^" is the xor operation:
  2^30   == 28
  2^31   == 29
  2^21-1 == 28
  2^21-2 == 31

Probably what you wanted was something more like this:

  # define LOGFS_LINK_MAX (1<<30)
