[PATCH v1 1/2] fs: reject negative offsets for SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE in default_llseek()

[Siddharth Chintamaneni <sidchintamaneni@gmail.com>]

In default_llseek(), the range checks for SEEK_DATA and SEEK_HOLE compare
the signed loff_t offset directly against inode->i_size:

	if (offset >= inode->i_size) {
		retval = -ENXIO;
		goto out;
	}

When a negative offset is supplied to SEEK_HOLE (e.g. lseek(fd, -10,
SEEK_HOLE) on a sysctl file in /proc/sys), the signed comparison evaluates
to false and execution proceeds to:

	offset = inode->i_size;

This overwrites the negative offset with a non-negative value before the
final `if (offset >= 0 || unsigned_offsets(file))` check, causing
default_llseek() to update file->f_pos and return inode->i_size instead of
failing with -ENXIO. Similarly, for SEEK_DATA on a file with
FOP_UNSIGNED_OFFSET, a negative offset bypasses the range check and
succeeds via unsigned_offsets(file).

Read the inode size once via i_size_read(inode) after acquiring the inode
lock and compare (unsigned long long)offset >= eof for both SEEK_DATA and
SEEK_HOLE, matching must_set_pos().

Fixes: 982d816581ee ("fs: add SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA flags")
