Yes. > Generic_file_llseek() uses file->f_mapping->host->i_mutex which is > equivalent for this file, but we might as well be consistent. Last time I used file->f_mapping->host-> for this in another driver Al Viro asked me to use the f_path sequence instead. So I've always done that since. If it is correct to use the other then generic_file_llseek looks fine, if not perhaps we need generic_device_llseek() ? Al - there are many clones of these lseek methods - which should we be using ? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
