Petr: please confirm. Al, Christoph: could we please find a way to distinguish reads that come from pread(2) from reads that come from read(2). Seqfiles are easily made capable of pread(2) just it's impossible to figure out in ->read() hook. Otherwise getting rid of ->read_proc is impossible. commit 6c87df37dcb9c6c33923707fa5191e0a65874d60 Author: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Oct 27 22:38:27 2008 +0300 proc: revert /proc/uptime to ->read_proc hook Turned out some VMware userspace does pread(2) on /proc/uptime, but seqfiles currently don't allow pread() resulting in -ESPIPE. Seqfiles in theory can do pread(), but this can be a long story, so revert to ->read_proc until then. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11856 Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@xxxxxxxxx> diff --git a/fs/proc/uptime.c b/fs/proc/uptime.c index 0c10a0b..df26aa8 100644 --- a/fs/proc/uptime.c +++ b/fs/proc/uptime.c @@ -1,43 +1,45 @@ -#include <linux/fs.h> #include <linux/init.h> #include <linux/proc_fs.h> #include <linux/sched.h> -#include <linux/seq_file.h> #include <linux/time.h> #include <asm/cputime.h> -static int uptime_proc_show(struct seq_file *m, void *v) +static int proc_calc_metrics(char *page, char **start, off_t off, + int count, int *eof, int len) +{ + if (len <= off + count) + *eof = 1; + *start = page + off; + len -= off; + if (len > count) + len = count; + if (len < 0) + len = 0; + return len; +} + +static int uptime_read_proc(char *page, char **start, off_t off, int count, + int *eof, void *data) { struct timespec uptime; struct timespec idle; + int len; cputime_t idletime = cputime_add(init_task.utime, init_task.stime); do_posix_clock_monotonic_gettime(&uptime); monotonic_to_bootbased(&uptime); cputime_to_timespec(idletime, &idle); - seq_printf(m, "%lu.%02lu %lu.%02lu\n", + len = sprintf(page, "%lu.%02lu %lu.%02lu\n", (unsigned long) uptime.tv_sec, (uptime.tv_nsec / (NSEC_PER_SEC / 100)), (unsigned long) idle.tv_sec, (idle.tv_nsec / (NSEC_PER_SEC / 100))); - return 0; + return proc_calc_metrics(page, start, off, count, eof, len); } -static int uptime_proc_open(struct inode *inode, struct file *file) -{ - return single_open(file, uptime_proc_show, NULL); -} - -static const struct file_operations uptime_proc_fops = { - .open = uptime_proc_open, - .read = seq_read, - .llseek = seq_lseek, - .release = single_release, -}; - static int __init proc_uptime_init(void) { - proc_create("uptime", 0, NULL, &uptime_proc_fops); + create_proc_read_entry("uptime", 0, NULL, uptime_read_proc, NULL); return 0; } module_init(proc_uptime_init); -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
