Thanks for your comments.

When offset + length is overflow, the case expect:
  - pwrite output error messages: pwrite64: File too large
  - pread output right message:   read 0/512 bytes at offset <OFFSET>

but in linux, the actual results:
  - pwrite output error messages: pwrite64: Invalid argument
  - pread output right message:   pread64: Invalid argument

I can add an additional filter to remove variable messages, 
but if I remove variable messages, the 071.out will remain echo content:
Writing 512 bytes, offset is +0 (direct=false)
Reading 512 bytes (direct=false)
...

This will make the case meaningless.
