From c7314d74fcb089b127ef5753b5263ac8473f33bc Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Sun, 20 Oct 2013 08:44:39 -0400 Subject: nfsd regression since delayed fput() Background: nfsd v[23] had throughput regression since delayed fput went in; every read or write ends up doing fput() and we get a pair of extra context switches out of that (plus quite a bit of work in queue_work itselfi, apparently). Use of schedule_delayed_work() gives it a chance to accumulate a bit before we do __fput() on all of them. I'm not too happy about that solution, but... on at least one real-world setup it reverts about 10% throughput loss we got from switch to delayed fput.

And seq_lseek() does not update file->f_pos if offset equals to m->read_pos, so after pread() and seq_lseek()(lseek to m->read_pos), then a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following program produces the problem: char str1[32] = { 0 }; char str2[32] = { 0 }; int poffset = 10; int count = 20; /*open any seq file*/ int fd = open("/proc/modules", O_RDONLY); pread(fd, str1, count, poffset); printf("pread:%s\n", str1); /*seek to where m->read_pos is*/ lseek(fd, poffset+count, SEEK_SET); /*supposed to read from poffset+count, but this read from position 0*/ read(fd, str2, count); printf("read:%s\n", str2); out put: pread: ck_netbios_ns 12665 read: nf_conntrack_netbios /proc/modules: nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 12665 0 - Live 0xffffffffa038b000 nf_conntrack_broadcast 12589 1 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns, Live 0xffffffffa0386000 So we always update file->f_pos to offset in seq_lseek() to fix this issue.
