+        If you implement your own ->llseek() you must handle SEEK_HOLE and

+data and there is a virtual hole at the end of the file.  So if the provided
+offset is less than i_size and SEEK_DATA is specified, return the same offset.

+of the file.  If the offset is i_size or greater return -ENXIO in either case.

+anymore, so if you require i_mutex locking you must make sure to take it and
+release it yourself.

-Module Parameters for Debugging
-===============================
-
-When UBIFS has been compiled with debugging enabled, there are 2 module
-parameters that are available to control aspects of testing and debugging.
-
-debug_chks      Selects extra checks that UBIFS can do while running:
-
-                Check                                   Flag value
-
-                General checks                          1
-                Check Tree Node Cache (TNC)             2
-                Check indexing tree size                4
-                Check orphan area                       8
-                Check old indexing tree                 16
-                Check LEB properties (lprops)           32
-                Check leaf nodes and inodes             64
-
-debug_tsts      Selects a mode of testing, as follows:
-
-                Test mode                               Flag value
-
-                Failure mode for recovery testing       4
-
-For example, set debug_chks to 3 to enable general and TNC checks.
