Subjectlseek/llseek allows the negative offset
# gcc x.c
# ./a.out
lseek on -100000: -100000
write: File too large

Should kernel allow negative offsets for lseek/llseek?

extern loff_t llseek (int fd, loff_t offset, int whence);

int
main ()
{
int fd = open ("/tmp/foo.out", O_CREAT | O_RDWR, 0600);
off_t res, pos;
loff_t lres, lpos;
char buffer [] = "negative offset";

if (fd < 0)
{
perror ("open");
