vfs: allow custom EOF in generic_file_llseek code
For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with
SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality
we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes
in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c,
but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially
since the copy has already diverged from the vfs.
This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept
both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this
in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash
position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants.
As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel
doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But
some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't
really argue.
(Patch also fixes up some comments slightly)
