[RFC][PATCH][bugfix] more checks for negative f_pos handling v2

From: KAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Date: Thu Sep 17 2009 - 01:55:42 EST


Considering several approaches, I think this is the simplest..
Any idea ?

Thanks,

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.
