Currently submitting multiple read/write for one file with offset = -1 will not behave as if calling read(2)/write(2) multiple times. The offset may be pinned to the same value for each submission (for example if they are punted to the async worker) and so each read/write will have the same offset. This patch series fixes this. Patch 1,3 cleans up the code a bit Patch 2 grabs the file position at execution time, rather than when the job is queued to be run which fixes inconsistincies when jobs are run asynchronously. Patch 4 increments the file's f_pos when reading it, which fixes inconsistincies with concurrent runs. A test for this will be submitted to liburing separately. v2: * added patch 4 which fixes cases where IOSQE_IO_LINK is not set v3: * outline slow path of pos updating * style fixes * do not pass kiocb unnecessarily Dylan Yudaken (4): io_uring: remove duplicated calls to io_kiocb_ppos io_uring: update kiocb->ki_pos at execution time io_uring: do not recalculate ppos unnecessarily io_uring: pre-increment f_pos on rw fs/io_uring.c | 118 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 103 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) base-commit: 754e0b0e35608ed5206d6a67a791563c631cec07 -- 2.30.2
