Commit 7fe1e79b59ba ("configfs: implement the .read_iter and .write_iter
methods") changed the simple_read_from_buffer() calls into copy_to_iter()
calls and the simple_write_to_buffer() calls into copy_from_iter() calls.
The simple*buffer() methods update the file offset (*ppos) but the read
and write iterators not yet. Make the read and write iterators update the
file offset (iocb->ki_pos).
This patch has been tested as follows:
# modprobe target_core_user
# dd if=/sys/kernel/config/target/dbroot bs=1
/var/target

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
