Thanks Michal,
However, kbuild found a problem with this definition on certain configs. Consider a config where, BITS_PER_LONG = 32 (32bit config) PAGE_SHIFT = 16 (64K pages) This results in the negative shift value. Not something I would not immediately think of, but a valid config.
The definition has been changed to, #define PGOFF_LOFFT_MAX \ (((1UL << (PAGE_SHIFT + 1)) - 1) << (BITS_PER_LONG - (PAGE_SHIFT + 1)))
