Kenneth # Crudup reports that it seems to break both his vmware installation and # the KDE upower service. In both cases apparently leading to timeouts # due to waitinmg for the f_pos lock. # # There are a number of character devices in particular that definitely # want stream-like behavior, but that currently don't get marked as # streams, and as a result get the exclusion between concurrent # read()/write() on the same file descriptor. Which doesn't work well for # them. # # The most obvious example if this is /dev/console and /dev/tty, which use # console_fops and tty_fops respectively (and ptmx_fops for the pty master # side). It may be that it's just this that causes problems, but we # clearly weren't ready yet. # # Because there's a number of other likely common cases that don't have # llseek implementations and would seem to act as stream devices: # # /dev/fuse (fuse_dev_operations) # /dev/mcelog (mce_chrdev_ops) # /dev/mei0 (mei_fops) # /dev/net/tun (tun_fops) # /dev/nvme0 (nvme_dev_fops) # /dev/tpm0 (tpm_fops) # /proc/self/ns/mnt (ns_file_operations) # /dev/snd/pcm* (snd_pcm_f_ops[]) # # and while some of these could be trivially automatically detected by the # vfs layer when the character device is opened by just noticing that they # have no read or write operations either, it often isn't that obvious. # # Some character devices most definitely do use the file position, even if # they don't allow seeking: the firmware update code, for example, uses # simple_read_from_buffer() that does use f_pos, but doesn't allow seeking # back and forth. # # We'll revisit this when there's a better way to detect the problem and # fix it (possibly with a coccinelle script to do more of the FMODE_STREAM # annotations). # # Reported-by: Kenneth R.
