Subject: [PATCH] remove LSM file_llseek hook
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2002 15:52:07 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20021017155207.A28782@infradead.org> (raw)

In the initial discussion LSM folks agreed on this, the
rationale is that lsseek itself makes no sense to
project as mmap() and pread/pwrite() allow access to any
area of the file anyway.
