Subject: seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read
From: Eric Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure. But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.
The patch series teaches the seq_file code to properly implement pread().
This patch:
To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read. So modify traverse() so that we can use it in seq_read.
