I'm a little confused on this proposed fix -- why does casting size_t
(aka unsigned long) to loff_t (long long) on a 32-bit system change the
test outcome? Does this same diotest4 failure happen with XFS? I ask
because XFS has been using iomap for directio for ages.

AFAICT @copied is a simple byte counter, and the other variable @n that
gets added to @copied is also a simple byte counter -- nobody should
ever be trying to stuff a negative value in there?

(Or is this a bug with the ext4 code that calls iomap_dio_rw?)

I'll resend as a patch, maybe split it to 2 returns instead.

Ternary operator has a return type and an attempt is made to convert
each of operands to the type of the other. So, in this case "ret"
appears to be converted to type of "copied" first. Both have size of
4 bytes on 32-bit x86:

size_t copied = 0;
int ret = -14;
long long actor_ret = copied ? copied : ret;

On x86_64: actor_ret == -14;
On x86 : actor_ret == 4294967282

Yes, it fails on XFS too.
