Yufen Yu a84c872c8b tmpfs: make lseek(SEEK_DATA/SEK_HOLE) return ENXIO with a negative offset
[ Upstream commit 1a41364693 ]

Other filesystems such as ext4, f2fs and ubifs all return ENXIO when
lseek (SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE) requests a negative offset.

man 2 lseek says

:      EINVAL whence  is  not  valid.   Or: the resulting file offset would be
:             negative, or beyond the end of a seekable device.
:
:      ENXIO  whence is SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE, and the file offset is  beyond
:             the end of the file.

Make tmpfs return ENXIO under these circumstances as well.  After this,
tmpfs also passes xfstests's generic/448.

============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
