From 34aacb2920667d405a8df15968b7f71ba46c8f18 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Frederic Weisbecker Date: Tue, 30 Mar 2010 02:14:26 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/kcore /proc/kcore has no llseek and then falls down to use default_llseek. This is racy against read_kcore() that directly manipulates fpos but it doesn't hold the bkl there so using it in llseek doesn't protect anything. Let's use generic_file_llseek() instead.
