    vfs: export lseek_execute() to modules · 46a1c2c7
    Jie Liu authored
    For those file systems(btrfs/ext4/ocfs2/tmpfs) that support
    SEEK_DATA/SEEK_HOLE functions, we end up handling the similar
    matter in lseek_execute() to update the current file offset
    to the desired offset if it is valid, ceph also does the
    simliar things at ceph_llseek().
    
    To reduce the duplications, this patch make lseek_execute()
    public accessible so that we can call it directly from the
    underlying file systems.
    
    Thanks Dave Chinner for this suggestion.
    
    [AV: call it vfs_setpos(), don't bring the removed 'inode' argument back]
    
    v2->v1:
    - Add kernel-doc comments for lseek_execute()
    - Call lseek_execute() in ceph->llseek()
