ext4: fix SEEK_HOLE
commit 7d95eddf313c88b24f99d4ca9c2411a4b82fef33 upstream. Currently, SEEK_HOLE implementation in ext4 may both return that there's a hole at some offset although that offset already has data and skip some holes during a search for the next hole. The first problem is demostrated by: xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "seek -h 0" file wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0 56 KiB, 14 ops; 0.0000 sec (2.054 GiB/sec and 538461.5385 ops/sec) Whence Result HOLE 0 Where we can see that SEEK_HOLE wrongly returned offset 0 as containing a hole although we have written data there. The second problem can be demonstrated by: xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "pwrite 128k 8k" -c "seek -h 0" file wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0 56 KiB, 14 ops; 0.0000 sec (1.978 GiB/sec and 518518.5185 ops/sec) wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 131072 8 KiB, 2 ops; 0.0000 sec (2 GiB/sec and 500000.0000 ops/sec) Whence Result HOLE 139264 Where we can see that hole at offsets 56k..128k has been ignored by the SEEK_HOLE call. The underlying problem is in the ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() which is just buggy. In some cases it fails to update returned offset when it finds a hole (when no pages are found or when the first found page has higher index than expected), in some cases conditions for detecting hole are just missing (we fail to detect a situation where indices of returned pages are not contiguous). Fix ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() to properly detect non-contiguous page indices and also handle all cases where we got less pages then expected in one place and handle it properly there.
