From e8b96eb5034a0ccebf36760f88e31ea3e3cdf1e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Sandeen Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2012 13:11:29 -0500 Subject: 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) Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- fs/ext4/file.c | 3 ++- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'fs/ext4/file.c') diff --git a/fs/ext4/file.c b/fs/ext4/file.c index 8c7642a00054..f3dadd0a0d51 100644 --- a/fs/ext4/file.c +++ b/fs/ext4/file.c @@ -225,7 +225,8 @@ loff_t ext4_llseek(struct file *file, loff_t offset, int origin) else maxbytes = inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes; - return generic_file_llseek_size(file, offset, origin, maxbytes); + return generic_file_llseek_size(file, offset, origin, + maxbytes, i_size_read(inode)); } const struct file_operations ext4_file_operations = { -- cgit v1.2.3
