Nonsense UNKNOWN error when writing large buffers with fs.writev

What steps will reproduce the bug?

const fs = require("fs");
const fd = fs.openSync("./test.dat", fs.constants.O_WRONLY | fs.constants.O_CREAT, 0o666);
const bufs = [Buffer.alloc(0x7FFFFFFF + 1)];
fs.writevSync(fd, bufs, 0);

This throws

Uncaught Error: UNKNOWN: unknown error, write
    at Object.writevSync (fs.js:749:3) {
  errno: -2147483648,
  syscall: 'write',
  code: 'UNKNOWN'
}

That errno is 0x7fffffff + 1 wrapped around.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

Always.

What is the expected behavior?

Should either work, since pwritev(2) works (I don't know if it has a limit less than SSIZE_MAX), or report a proper error before making the syscall. I did the latter recently for fs.write in c4e7dca8f30ff89b42e96fb8819558ed518a72dd. It would be nice if large files actually worked, but the best fix for that would require a new libuv function.

What do you see instead?

Beginne bei fs.writevSync in fs.js und vergleiche die Argumentbehandlung mit der in Commit c4e7dca8f30ff89b42e96fb8819558ed518a72dd referenzierten fs.write-Validierung. Reproduziere den Fall mit dem großen Puffer unter Linux und bestimme anschließend, ob das fertige Verhalten die Anfrage vor dem syscall mit einem geeigneten Fehler ablehnen oder den größeren Puffer über libuv unterstützen sollte.
