Subject: ext4: in ext4_seek_{hole,data}, return -ENXIO for negative offsets
From: Darrick J. Wong <darrick.wong@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 1bd8d6cd3e413d64e543ec3e69ff43e75a1cf1ea upstream.
In the ext4 implementations of SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA, make sure we
return -ENXIO for negative offsets instead of banging around inside
the extent code and returning -EFSCORRUPTED.
