Valentine Sinitsyn 0fedefd4c4 kernfs: sysfs: support custom llseek method for sysfs entries ... As of now, seeking in sysfs files is handled by generic_file_llseek(). There are situations where one may want to customize seeking logic: - Many sysfs entries are fixed files while generic_file_llseek() accepts past-the-end positions. Not only being useless by itself, this also means a bug in userspace code will trigger not at lseek(), but at some later point making debugging harder. - generic_file_llseek() relies on f_mapping->host to get the file size which might not be correct for all sysfs entries. See commit 636b21b501 ("PCI: Revoke mappings like devmem") as an example. Implement llseek method to override this behavior at sysfs attribute level. The method is optional, and if it is absent, generic_file_llseek() is called to preserve backwards compatibility.
