I once posted a similar patch for this issue which can be found at: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg12169.html with an additional improvement if the offset is larger or equal to the file size, return -ENXIO in directly: if (offset >= inode->i_size) { mutex_unlock(&inode->i_mutex); return -ENXIO; } Thanks, -Jeff On 09/16/2011 11:48 PM, Christoph Hellwig wrote: > On Thu, Sep 15, 2011 at 04:06:47PM -0700, Andi Kleen wrote: >> From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> >> >> Introduced by 9a4327ca1f45f82edad7dc0a4e52ce9316e0950c > > I think this should go to Chris/Linus ASAP.
