Dynptr currently caps size and offset at 24 bits, which isn’t sufficient for file-backed use cases; even 32 bits can be limiting. Refactor dynptr helpers/kfuncs to use 64-bit size and offset, ensuring consistency across the APIs. This change does not affect internals of xdp, skb or other dynptrs, which continue to behave as before. Also it does not break binary compatibility. The widening enables large-file access support via dynptr, implemented in the next patches.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
