[RESEND] [PATCH] VFS: make file->f_pos access atomic on 32bit arch

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

 



Hi Andrew.

Currently reading or writing file->f_pos is not atomic on 32bit environment,
so two or more simultaneous access can corrupt file->f_pos value.
There are some past discussions about this issue, but this is not fixed yet.
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=120764199819899&w=2
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=114490379102476&w=2

Protecting file->f_pos with a lock adds some overhead but I think we should
fix this.
I used seqlock to serialize the access to file->f_pos. This approach is similar
to inode->i_size synchronization.

Thanks.
