Re: [PATCH] [8/18] BKL-removal: Remove BKL from remote_llseek

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Don't you need to a spinlock/spinunlock(i_lock) or something similar
(there isn't a spinlock in the file struct unfortunately) around the
reads and writes from f_pos in fs/read_write.c in remote_llseek with
your patch since the reads/writes from that field are not necessarily
atomic and threads could be racing in seek on the same file struct?
