[Ocfs2-devel] [PATCH] ocfs2: for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE, return internal error unchanged if ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache() or ocfs2_inode_lock() call failed.

Hello,

Since ENXIO only means "offset beyond EOF" for SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE,
Hence we should return the internal error unchanged if ocfs2_inode_lock() or
ocfs2_get_clusters_nocache() call failed rather than ENXIO.
Otherwise, it will confuse the user applications when they trying to understand the root cause.

Thanks Dave for pointing this out.

Thanks,
-Jeff
