Subject[PATCH 1/8] vfs: fix too big f_pos handling
[CC fsdevel for opinions]


From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki <kamezawa.hiroyu@jp.fujitsu.com>

Now, rw_verify_area() checsk f_pos is negative or not. And if
negative, returns -EINVAL.

But, some special files as /dev/(k)mem and /proc/<pid>/mem etc..
has negative offsets. And we can't do any access via read/write
to the file(device).

This patch introduce a flag S_VERYBIG and allow negative file
offsets.

Changelog: v4->v5
- clean up patches dor /dev/mem.
- rebased onto 2.6.32-rc1

Changelog: v3->v4
- make changes in mem.c aligned.
- change __negative_fpos_check() to return int.
- fixed bug in "pos" check.
- added comments.

Changelog: v2->v3
- fixed bug in rw_verify_area (it cannot be compiled)
