      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.

      No need to hold the bkl to seek here, none of the other
      fops callbacks use it.
      
      Use generic_file_llseek explicitly.

      procfs: Kill BKL in llseek on proc base · 87df8424
      Arnd Bergmann authored
      We don't use the BKL elsewhere, so use generic_file_llseek
      so we can avoid default_llseek taking the BKL.
