Subject: [PATCH mm-unstable 1/1] fs/proc/task_mmu: advance seq_file position on interrupted VMA lookup
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 22:01:01 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112140101.647-1-adrianhuang0701@gmail.com> (raw)
Commit 5631da56c9a8 ("fs/proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/maps under
per-vma lock") introduced the possibility of returning -EINTR
from proc_get_vma() when the VMA lookup is interrupted.
When this happens in m_next(), proc_get_vma() returns an error
pointer without updating the position index. Consequently,
seq_read_iter() reports:
seq_file: buggy .next function m_next did not update position index
The above buggy message is reproduced by the following command:
# stress-ng --vma 0 -t 60
Update the position index when VMA lookup fails, as required by
the seq_file interface. Also save the original position in
priv->last_pos so that subsequent iteration can restart from
the correct address without skipping or repeating a VMA.
Fixes: 5631da56c9a8 ("fs/proc/task_mmu: read proc/pid/maps under per-vma lock")
