Hello, chris

Thanks for your explain.
I got your meaning.

But at least, we should make code unify:

// with u64:
[root@localhost btrfs]# grep '((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)' *
compression.c:  WARN_ON(start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1));
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = eb->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = eb->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = eb->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = eb->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = eb->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = dst->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = dst->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    size_t start_offset = dst->start & ((u64)PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);

// without u64:
[root@localhost btrfs]# grep '(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)' *
compression.c:                  size_t zero_offset = isize & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:                    unsigned long offset = (*start) & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:            size_t zero_offset = last_byte & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:    pg_offset = i_size & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:            block_off_start = block_start & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:            page_offset = block_start & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
extent_io.c:            if ((i == 0 && (eb->start & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1))) ||
extent_io.c:                 ((eb->start + eb->len) & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)))) {
extent_io.c:    size_t offset = start & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
file.c: int offset = pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
file.c: if ((pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1))) {
file.c: if ((pos + count) & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)) {
file.c:         size_t offset = pos & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
file-item.c:            memcpy(eb_token + ((unsigned long)item & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)),
inode.c:                offset = start & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
inode.c:                                (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
inode.c:                        ~(PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1);
inode.c:        if ((end & (PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1)) == 0)
