From c227e69028473c7c7994a9b0a2cc0034f3f7e0fe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2010 13:04:54 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] /proc/vmcore: fix seeking Commit 73296bc611 ("procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore") broke seeking on /proc/vmcore. This changes it back to use default_llseek in order to restore the original behaviour. The problem with generic_file_llseek is that it only allows seeks up to inode->i_sb->s_maxbytes, which is zero on procfs and some other virtual file systems. We should merge generic_file_llseek and default_llseek some day and clean this up in a proper way, but for 2.6.35/36, reverting vmcore is the safer solution.
