Hi,
This is somewhat related to Linux in that this situation overlaps with
some of the changes in the file {2.4,2.6}fs/proc/kcore.c. I apologize
in advance if it is not case.
I searched marc.theaimsgroup and other random places for the patch
that might explain why the .lseek operation was removed and whether it
has repercussions on the way, user-space, lseek will work with
/proc/kcore. Nothing relevant.
2.4 and 2.6 differ in the kcore llseek file operation as follows
struct file_operations proc_kcore_operations = {
read: read_kcore,
open: open_kcore,
llseek: lseek_kcore, /* this line is absent in 2.6 */
};
It would be very helpfull if someone could point me to the
patch/discussion or explain this change.
thank you,
Youssef Hmamouche
