[Qemu-devel] [PULL 2/9] block: handle invalid lseek returns gracefully

[Kevin Wolf <kwolf@redhat.com>]

From: Jeff Cody <jcody@redhat.com>

In commit 223a23c198787328ae75bc65d84edf5fde33c0b6, we implemented a
workaround in the gluster driver to handle invalid values returned for
SEEK_DATA or SEEK_HOLE.

In some instances, these same invalid values can be seen in the posix
file handler as well - for example, it has been reported on FUSE gluster
mounts.

Calling assert() for these invalid values is overly harsh; we can safely
return -EIO and allow this case to be treated as a "learned nothing"
case (e.g., D4 / H4, as commented in the code).

This patch does the same thing that 223a23c198787 did for gluster.c,
except in file-posix.c
