Wei-Ting Yang 1938656f70 coreutils: patch possible infinite loop with SEEK_HOLE
cp, install, and mv no longer enter an infinite loop copying sparse files
with SEEK_HOLE. E.g., this was seen on ext4 when copying sparse files with
extents that are being actively updated, and copy offload is not being used.

Subject: [PATCH] copy: fix possible infinite loop with SEEK_HOLE
Commit v9.8-95-g4c0cf3864 intended to initialize
ext_start to src_pos, as was described at:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2025-11/msg00035.html
However ipos was inadvertently used, which is only
valid the first time through the loop.
* src/copy-file-data.c (lseek_copy): Use scan_inference->hole_start
only with the initial offset passed to lseek_copy().
