The 'lsattr' command shows that the file has data stored inline.  However,

to be un-inlined.  Doing a 'sync' before running the 'lsattr' fixes it.
I know I'm the one who initially reported this, but I suppose there is an argument to be made that this in itself is not a bug, as Ted seemed to say before. What is a problem, however, is lseek() giving ENOENT when the kernel finds file data where it expects to find a block/extent map, and I can confirm this patch solves that (tested against 6.8.0-rc3). Not sure if it's the best thing to do so by forcing immediate allocation, but I feel it's still an improvement.
