Subject: [PATCH 02/15] osst: Use noop_llseek() instead of default_llseek()
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:40:32 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1258735245-25826-3-git-send-email-jblunck@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1258735245-25826-1-git-send-email-jblunck@suse.de>

__os_scsi_tape_open() suggests that llseek() doesn't work:
"We really want to do nonseekable_open(inode, filp); here, but some
 versions of tar incorrectly call lseek on tapes and bail out if that
 fails.  So we disallow pread() and pwrite(), but permit lseeks."

Instead of using the fallback default_llseek() the driver should use
noop_llseek() which leaves the file->f_pos untouched but succeeds.
