Subject: seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.28.5~17
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=5dcb80816382aac7b3e79a003f520fb3c0821e42;p=karo-tx-linux.git

seq_file: move traverse so it can be used from seq_read

commit 33da8892a2f9e7d4b2d9a35fc80833ba2d2b1aa6 upstream.

In 2.6.25 some /proc files were converted to use the seq_file
infrastructure.  But seq_files do not correctly support pread(), which
broke some usersapce applications.

To handle pread correctly we can't assume that f_pos is where we left it
in seq_read.  So move traverse() so that we can eventually use it in
seq_read and do thus some day support pread().
