[PATCH 4.4 02/28] ext4: in ext4_seek_{hole,data}, return -ENXIO for negative offsets

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 16 2017 - 12:13:48 EST


4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

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.
