Thanks, but please change it to Vlastimil Babka <vbabka@xxxxxxx>
It was some mistake between me and thunderbird that it was sent from @k.o.

Maybe we could still optimize the typical case a bit such that when it's 0,
we skip to min_low_pfn immediately.

It's not correct for SEEK_CUR to behave like this, no?
Can we perhaps reuse the existing mem_lseek() ?

Also we should update Documentation/mm/page_owner.rst to document the lseek
support and that it works with a pfn.

Thanks!
