Tejun Heo 044e3bc333 sysfs: use generic_file_llseek() for sysfs_file_operations ... 13c589d5b0 ("sysfs: use seq_file when reading regular files") converted regular sysfs files to use seq_file. The commit substituted generic_file_llseek() with seq_lseek() for llseek implementation. Before the change, all regular sysfs files were allowed to seek to any position in [0, PAGE_SIZE] as the file size is always PAGE_SIZE and generic_file_llseek() allows any seeking inside the range under file size; however, seq_lseek()'s behavior is different. It traverses the output by repeatedly invoking ->show() until it reaches the target offset or traversal indicates EOF. As seq_files are fully dynamic and may not end at all, it doesn't support seeking from the end (SEEK_END). Apparently, there are userland tools which uses SEEK_END to discover the buffer size to use and the switch to seq_lseek() disturbs them as SEEK_END fails with -EINVAL. The only benefits of using seq_lseek() instead of generic_file_llseek() are * Early failure. If traversing to certain file position should fail, seq_lseek() will report such failures on lseek(2) instead of the following read/write operations. * EOF detection. While SEEK_END is not supported, SEEK_SET/CUR + large offset can be used to detect eof - eof at the time of the seek anyway as the file size may change dynamically. Both aren't necessary for sysfs or prospect kernfs users. Revert to genefic_file_llseek() and preserve the original behavior.
