    procfs: Use generic_file_llseek in /proc/vmcore · 73296bc6
    Frederic Weisbecker authored
    /proc/vmcore has no llseek and then falls down to use default_llseek.
    This is racy against read_vmcore() that directly manipulates fpos
    but it doesn't hold the bkl there so using it in llseek doesn't
    protect anything.
    
    Let's use generic_file_llseek() instead.
