Hi,
Looking at the current kernel (in Linus' repository on github) there is a silly logic bug in the cifs module in fs/cifs/cifsfs.c::cifs_llseek() there is this bit of code:
/*
* origin == SEEK_END || SEEK_DATA || SEEK_HOLE => we must revalidate
* the cached file length
*/
if (origin != SEEK_SET || origin != SEEK_CUR) {
The logical or should be a logical and, i.e. this should be:
if (origin != SEEK_SET && origin != SEEK_CUR) {
As the code is at present that line is ALWAYS true because origin is ALWAYS either != SEEK_SET or != SEEK_CUR as if it equals one it cannot equal the other and vice versa…
So at the moment it always does the revalidation instead of only for SEEK_END, SEEK_DATA, and SEEK_HOLE.
Best regards,
Anton
