Re: [PATCH] ext4: Fix hole length detection in ext4_ind_map_blocks()

When ext4_ind_map_blocks() computes a length of a hole, it doesn't count with the fact that mapped offset may be somewhere in the middle of the completely empty subtree. In such case it will return too large length of the hole which then results in lseek(SEEK_DATA) to end up returning an incorrect offset beyond the end of the hole.

Fix the problem by correctly taking offset within a subtree into account when computing a length of a hole.
