https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=200043 Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |adilger.kernelbugzilla@dilg | |er.ca --- Comment #1 from Andreas Dilger (adilger.kernelbugzilla@xxxxxxxxx) --- It should be noted that seek on an ext4 *htree* directory is handled in terms of the hash of the filename (which is the value returned by telldir()), not in terms of the byte offset. The valid hash values for htree directories are in the range [0,EXT4_HTREE_EOF_64BIT] ([0,2^63 - 1]) on 64-bit systems. Seeking on a non-htree directory (any directory 4KB in size) is handled via ext4_llseek()->generic_file_llseek_size(). Seeking to a negative offset on a directory doesn't particularly make sense, so should probably have some more strict limits imposed than regular files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching the assignee of the bug.
