Subject: [PATCH] ext2_readdir() filp->f_pos fix
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2004 21:18:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41094D69.9030008@tu-harburg.de> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 258 bytes --]
If the whole inode is read, ext2_readdir() sets the f_pos to a multiple
of the page size (because of the conditions of the outer for loop). This
sets the wrong f_pos for directory inodes on ext2 partitions with a
block size differing from the page size.
