Subject: [PATCH] xfstests: limit OP_PUNCH_HOLE operations to the file
size
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2011 15:18:06 -0500

Before punching a hole in a file, TRIM_OFF_LEN() calls
TRIM_OFF_LEN() in order to make sure the offset and size
used are in a reasonable range.  But currently the range
it's limited to is maxfilelen, which allows the offset
(and therefore offset + len) to be beyond EOF.

Later, do_punch_hole() ignores any request that starts beyond
EOF, so we might as well limit requests to the file size.

It appears that a hole punch request that starts within a
file but whose length extends beyond it is treated simply
as a hole punch up to EOF.  So there's no harm in limiting
the end of a hole punch request to the file size either.

Therefore, use TRIM_OFF_LEN() to put both the the offset
and length of a request within the file size for hole
punch requests.
