[PATCH] Btrfs: return EUCLEAN rather than ENXIO once internal error has occurred for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE inquiry

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



By referring to http://linux.die.net/man/2/lseek, return ENXIO only
when "offset beyond EOF" for either SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE inquiry.
But we return it in case of internal issue too if btrfs_get_extent_fiemap() failed
due to other issues.  This will confuse the user applications to be expecting ENXIO when
trying to find a specific data or hole location once it has occurred.

Thanks Dave for pointing that out in XFS thread.

This patch fix it to return EUCLEAN, or maybe another particular errno is more reasonable in Btrfs to indicate this fatal error?

Thanks,
-Jeff
