mm/swapfile.c: swap_next should increase position index
If seq_file .next fuction does not change position index, read after some lseek can generate unexpected output. In Aug 2018 NeilBrown noticed commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file iteration code and interface") "Some ->next functions do not increment *pos when they return NULL... Note that such ->next functions are buggy and should be fixed. A simple demonstration is dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1000 skip=1 Choose any block size larger than the size of /proc/swaps. This will always show the whole last line of /proc/swaps" Described problem is still actual. If you make lseek into middle of last output line following read will output end of last line and whole last line once again. $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=1 # usual output Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 104+0 records in 104+0 records out 104 bytes copied $ dd if=/proc/swaps bs=40 skip=1 # last line was generated twice dd: /proc/swaps: cannot skip to specified offset v/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 /dev/dm-0 partition 4194812 97536 -2 3+1 records in 3+1 records out 131 bytes copied https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/bd8cfd7b-ac95-9b91-f9e7-e8438bd5047d@virtuozzo.com Signed-off-by: Vasily Averin <vvs@virtuozzo.com> Reviewed-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Cc: Jann Horn <jannh@google.com> Cc: Alexander Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Cc: Kees Cook <keescook@chromium.org> Cc: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
