Subject[PATCH] seq_file:update file->f_pos when lseek() to m->read_pos
Date
After pread(), file->f_pos and m->read_pos get different,
and lseek() to m->read_pos did not update file->f_pos, then
a subsequent read may read from a wrong position, the following
program shows 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);
