Subject: [PATCH 3.16 062/204] vfs: Return -ENXIO for negative SEEK_HOLE /
 SEEK_DATA offsets

3.16.52-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Andreas Gruenbacher <agruenba@...hat.com>

commit fc46820b27a2d9a46f7e90c9ceb4a64a1bc5fab8 upstream.

In generic_file_llseek_size, return -ENXIO for negative offsets as well
as offsets beyond EOF.  This affects filesystems which don't implement
SEEK_HOLE / SEEK_DATA internally, possibly because they don't support
holes.

Fixes xfstest generic/448.
