Subject: [PATCH 00/12] Multiple file->f_pos/nonseekable_open/llseek fixes (reposy)

This is a repost of a patch series I already posted in November 2009. This time
I left out the patch that removes the BKL from default_llseek() since this
should go through Frederic's tree. This series mostly consists of fixing direct
modifications of file->f_pos and some additional cases where nonseekable_open()
can be used. The rest of this series is unrelated to but a preparation for the
BKL removal from default_llseek().

Thanks,
Jan

Jan Blunck (12):
  osst: Update ppos instead of using file->f_pos
  flash_read should update ppos instead of file->f_pos
  eeprom_read()/eeprom_write() should update ppos instead of
    file->f_pos
  frv: remove "struct file *" argument from sysctl ->proc_handler
  mISDN: Remove unnecessary test on f_pos
  zcrypt: Use nonseekable_open()
  rtc-m41t80: Use nonseekable_open()
  Introduce noop_llseek()
  osst: Use noop_llseek() instead of default_llseek()
  st: Use noop_llseek() instead of default_llseek()
  Do not fallback to default_llseek() when readdir() uses BKL
  Documentation/filesystems/Locking: Update documentation on llseek()
    wrt BKL
