Yes. XFS also returns -EIO, so I guess it's okay to do so.

I still need to get to the bottom of whether calling
dm_thin_find_mapped_range() is sane here and what to do when/if it
returns EWOULDBLOCK.

Returning (ti->begin + ti->len) << SECTOR_SHIFT for SEEK_HOLE when there
is data at the end of the target is intentional. This matches the
semantics of lseek().

I agree there is adjustment necessary in dm.c, but I want to seek the
semantics of all lseek() functions identical to avoid confusion.
