There are multiple issues with the custom llseek implemented in ocfs2 for
implementing SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA.
1. It takes the inode->i_mutex lock before calling generic_file_llseek(), which
is unnecessary.
2. It fails to take the filp->f_lock spinlock before modifying filp->f_pos and
filp->f_version, which differs from generic_file_llseek().
3. It does a offset > inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes check that permits seeking up to
the maximum file size possible on the ocfs2 filesystem, even when it is past
the end of the file. Seeking beyond that (if possible), would return EINVAL
instead of ENXIO.
4. The switch statement tries to cover all whence values when in reality it
should only care about SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA. Any other cases should be passsed
to generic_file_llseek().
btrfs_file_llseek() and ocfs2_file_llseek() are extremely similar and
consequently, contain many of the same flaws. Li Dongyang filed a pull
request with ZFSOnLinux for SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support that included a
custom llseek function that appears to have been modelled after the one
in ocfs2. The similarity was strong enough that it suffered from many of
the same flaws, which I caught during review. I addressed the issues
with his patch with one that I wrote. Since a small percentage of Gentoo
Linux users are affected by these flaws, I decided to adapt that code
that to btrfs (separate patch) and ocfs2.
Note that commit 48802c8ae2a9d618ec734a61283d645ad527e06c by Jeff Liu at
Oracle mostly addressed #3 in btrfs. The only lingering issue was that
the offset > inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes check became dead code. The ocfs2
code was not fortunate enough to have had a similar correction until
now.
