Jiri Olsa fcdba07ee3 tty,vcs removing con_buf/conf_buf_mtx ... seems there's no longer need for using con_buf/conf_buf_mtx as vcs_read/vcs_write buffer for user's data. The do_con_write function, that was the other user of this, is currently using its own kmalloc-ed buffer. Not sure when this got changed, as I was able to find this code in 2.6.9, but it's already gone as far as current git history goes - 2.6.12-rc2. AFAICS there's a behaviour change with the current change. The lseek is not completely mutually exclusive with the vcs_read/vcs_write - the file->f_pos might get updated via lseek callback during the vcs_read/vcs_write processing. I tried to find out if the prefered behaviour is to keep this in sync within read/write/lseek functions, but I did not find any pattern on different places. I guess if user end up calling write/lseek from different threads she should know what she's doing. If needed we could use dedicated fd mutex/buffer.
