I had buggy code that was using lseek.
Turns out, FUSE is a little odd in that regard (I might be wrong, but this is how it looks to me):
preadv64internally)Lseekdoes exist in FUSE and in virtiofsd it maps to the host'slseek. It also returns the host'slseekreturn value.lseekwith aCurwhence doesn't return a meaningful value.lseekto the deamon is not sufficient for seeking through a file (we already use an internal offset correctly in these cases).This PR fixes the incorrect behaviour in lseek by:
SetandCur.This should have a slightly positive effect on the performance, since it reduces virtio transactions.
Note that this is not tested for
DataandHole, so these might still be buggy.
