            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: ext4

lseek test program

lseek() call hangs for a long time on fallocate allocated files on ext4.

Steps to reproduce:
1. gcc -o prog lseek-fallocate.c
2. fallocate -l 1G test
3. cat test > /dev/null
4. ./prog

Actual result:
prog hangs for 2 minutes on my system while doing lseek().

Expected result:
lseek() instantly return ENXIO.

Usually lseek works much faster if file wasn't cat'ed before lseek.
Works properly on btrfs.
