Agree entirely: the spec doesn't allow for random scribbling in the wrong place. It doesn't cover which goes first or who "wins" the race but provides pwrite/pread for that situation. Writing somewhere unrelated is definitely not to spec and not good. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
