Subject: generic_file_llseek vs. remote_llseek
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 14:49:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <44EB5FB2.8090005@us.ibm.com> (raw)
Now that generic_file_llseek locks the inode, do we need to have anyone
use remote_llseek?
Although remote_llseek is newer, it does a lock_kernel which seems
excessive, unless it has to do with
some isize_write race issue it is trying to avoid.
The cifs code would probably be fine with the change to the (presumably
faster) generic_file_llseek,
and perhas the nfs code as weel..
