From: Vasily Averin <vvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 86d32f9a7c54ad74f4514d7fef7c847883207291 upstream. If seq_file .next function does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output: $ dd if=/proc/keys bs=1 # full usual output 0f6bfdf5 I--Q--- 2 perm 3f010000 1000 1000 user 4af2f79ab8848d0a: 740 1fb91b32 I--Q--- 3 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid.1000: 2 27589480 I--Q--- 1 perm 0b0b0000 0 0 user invocation_id: 16 2f33ab67 I--Q--- 152 perm 3f030000 0 0 keyring _ses: 2 33f1d8fa I--Q--- 4 perm 3f030000 1000 1000 keyring _ses: 1 3d427fda I--Q--- 2 perm 3f010000 1000 1000 user 69ec44aec7678e5a: 740 3ead4096 I--Q--- 1 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid_ses.1000: 1 521+0 records in 521+0 records out 521 bytes copied, 0,00123769 s, 421 kB/s But a read after lseek in middle of last line results in the partial last line and then a repeat of the final line: $ dd if=/proc/keys bs=500 skip=1 dd: /proc/keys: cannot skip to specified offset g _uid_ses.1000: 1 3ead4096 I--Q--- 1 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid_ses.1000: 1 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 97 bytes copied, 0,000135035 s, 718 kB/s and a read after lseek beyond end of file results in the last line being shown: $ dd if=/proc/keys bs=1000 skip=1 # read after lseek beyond end of file dd: /proc/keys: cannot skip to specified offset 3ead4096 I--Q--- 1 perm 1f3f0000 1000 65534 keyring _uid_ses.1000: 1 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 76 bytes copied, 0,000119981 s, 633 kB/s See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 Fixes: 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code ...")
