Both the 'next' and the 'show' functions for the dump_page_cache seqfile perform a lookup based on the current file index. This is needless duplication. The reason appears to be that the state that needs to be communicated from "next" to "show" is two pointers, but seq_file only provides for a single pointer to be returned from next and passed to show. So make use of the new 'seq_private' structure to store the extra pointer. So when 'next' (or 'start') find something, it returns the page and stores the clob in the private area. 'show' accepts the page as an argument, and finds the clob where it was stored. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
