Subject: [PATCH] filp->f_pos not correctly updated in proc_task_readdir
filp->f_pos only get updated at the end of the function. Thus d_off of those
dirents who are in the middle will be 0, and this will cause a problem in
glibc's readdir implementation, specifically endless loop. Because when overflow
occurs, f_pos will be set to next dirent to read, however it will be 0, unless
the next one is the last one. So it will start over again and again.
There is a sample program in man 2 gendents. This is the output of the program
running on a multithread program's task dir before this patch is applied:
$ ./a.out /proc/3807/task
--------------- nread=128 ---------------
i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name
506442 directory 16 1 .
506441 directory 16 0 ..
506443 directory 16 0 3807
506444 directory 16 0 3809
506445 directory 16 0 3812
506446 directory 16 0 3861
506447 directory 16 0 3862
506448 directory 16 8 3863
This is the output after this patch is applied
$ ./a.out /proc/3807/task
--------------- nread=128 ---------------
i-node# file type d_reclen d_off d_name
506442 directory 16 1 .
506441 directory 16 2 ..
506443 directory 16 3 3807
506444 directory 16 4 3809
506445 directory 16 5 3812
506446 directory 16 6 3861
506447 directory 16 7 3862
506448 directory 16 8 3863
