[PATCH 3/3 v3] Ext4: handle SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA generically

From: Josef Bacik <hidden>
Date: 2011-05-05 20:16:58
Also in: linux-ext4, linux-fsdevel, lkml
Subsystem: ext4 file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: "Theodore Ts'o", Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Since Ext4 has its own lseek we need to make sure it handles
SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA.  For now just do the same thing that is done in the generic
case, somebody else can come along and make it do fancy things later.  Thanks,
