Subjectdoubts on file_pos_write()
DateTue, 2 Jan 2007 09:17:12 +0100
Hi,

as loff_t is a 64 bit value, it seems to me to a simple assignment
in file_pos_write() means that the offset can be turned into garbage
doing concurrent reads with shared fds around the 4GB limit on 32 bit
architectures.
Comments?

	Regards
		Oliver
