Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 112/330] mm/swapfile.c: swap_next should increase position index
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 21:57:32 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200918020110.2063155-112-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200918020110.2063155-1-sashal@kernel.org>
From: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com>
[ Upstream commit 10c8d69f314d557d94d74ec492575ae6a4f1eb1c ]
If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after
some lseek can generate unexpected output.
In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c:
simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") "Some ->next functions
do not increment *pos when they return NULL... Note that such ->next
functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple demonstration is
dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1
Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will
always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps"
Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of
last output line following read will output end of last line and whole
last line once again.
$ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output
