Hello,
I submitted a patch to this list to fix a bug:
"[PATCH] fs: allow no_seek_end_llseek to actually seek"
https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=145468852318292&w=2
However noone seems to give it any attention, I've tried to email Al
Viro, the author of the function, about it too but sofar i have not
gotten anything back about this either.
Meanwhile rc3 and rc4 how been released with this bug in it and i dont
know what action to undertake to make sure that it will be fixed in
rc5.
I would like some feedback on how to actually get this patch merged.
Kind regards,
-Wouter van Kesteren

just a question, why not MAX_LFS_FILESIZE?
and there is no SoB in the patch (no answers to the rest of your
questions).

Thanks for the reply Sergey,
Andreas already gave me feedback on the patch as a reply to the post. Ive fixed
the SoB: thing and resubmitted along with a couple of other tweaks in that.
(https://marc.info/?l=linux-fsdevel&m=145565767604498&w=2)
As to why i used MAX_OFFSET: the reason is that i felt it was the closest to
the original intent of the code which was attempting 'biggest value to mean
unbounded'.
I don't actually know anything about the filesystem part of the kernel
(or really
anything about the kernel at all) so if someone tells me to use
MAX_LFS_FILESIZE instead i'd be more than happy to change it.
