commit 2d4ecb030dcc90fb725ecbfc82ce5d6c37906e0e upstream. If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output: 1) dd bs=1 skip output of each 2nd elements $ dd if=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs bs=8 count=1 2 3 4 5 1+0 records in 1+0 records out 8 bytes copied, 0,000267297 s, 29,9 kB/s [test@localhost ~]$ dd if=/sys/fs/cgroup/cgroup.procs bs=1 count=8 2 4 <<< NB! 3 was skipped 6 <<< ... and 5 too 8 <<< ... and 7 8+0 records in 8+0 records out 8 bytes copied, 5,2123e-05 s, 153 kB/s This happen because __cgroup_procs_start() makes an extra extra cgroup_procs_next() call 2) read after lseek beyond end of file generates whole last line. 3) read after lseek into middle of last line generates expected rest of last line and unexpected whole line once again. Additionally patch removes an extra position index changes in __cgroup_procs_start() Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com> Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
