I think that's non-nfsv4.2's logical.

No, if underlying filesystem is ext4/f2fs, or the nfs server is knfsd,
the last lseek syscall always return ENXIO no matter the cur_pos is > eof or not.

A file ends with a hole as,
Part   22: DATA 0x0000000006a00000 ---> 0x0000000006afffff
Part   23: HOLE 0x0000000006b00000 ---> 0x000000000c7fffff

lseek(3, 111149056, SEEK_HOLE)          = 112197632
lseek(3, 112197632, SEEK_DATA)          = -1 ENXIO (No such device or address)

Right now, when knfsd gets the ENXIO error, it returns the error to client directly,
and return to syscall.
But, ganesha set the sr_eof to true and return NFS4_OK to client as RFC description,
nfs client skips the sr_eof and return a bad offset to syscall.
