(I sent this e-mail two weeks ago with no feedback. Does anyone care? Wrong mailing list? Anything....?) Seeking (to an offset within file size) in /proc/meminfo is broken in 4.19.59. It does seek to a desired position, but reading from that position returns the remainder of file and then a whole copy of file. This doesn't happen with /proc/vmstat or /proc/self/maps for example. Seeking did work correctly in kernel 4.14.47. So it seems something broke in the way. Background: this kind of access pattern (seeking to /proc/meminfo) is used by libvirt-lxc fuse driver for virtualized view of /proc/meminfo. So that /proc/meminfo is broken in guests when running kernel 4.19.x. $ ./test /proc/meminfo 0        # Works as expected MemTotal:       394907728 kB MemFree:        173738328 kB ...
