[ Upstream commit 6722b23e7a ]
if seq_file .next fuction does not change position index,
read after some lseek can generate unexpected output.
Without patch:
# dd bs=30 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger: cannot skip to specified offset
n traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
# Available triggers:
# traceon traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist
6+1 records in
6+1 records out

Notice the printing of "# Available triggers:..." after the line.
With the patch:
# dd bs=30 skip=1 if=/sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger
dd: /sys/kernel/tracing/events/sched/sched_switch/trigger: cannot skip to specified offset
n traceoff snapshot stacktrace enable_event disable_event enable_hist disable_hist hist

It only prints the end of the file, and does not restart.
