[ Upstream commit 6617dfd440149e42ce4d2be615eb31a4755f4d30 ]
Commit 4fc427e05158 ("ipv6_route_seq_next should increase position index") tried to fix the issue where seq_file pos is not increased if a NULL element is returned with seq_ops->next(). See bug https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206283 The commit effectively does: - increase pos for all seq_ops->start() - increase pos for all seq_ops->next()
For ipv6_route, increasing pos for all seq_ops->next() is correct. But increasing pos for seq_ops->start() is not correct since pos is used to determine how many items to skip during seq_ops->start(): iter->skip = *pos; seq_ops->start() just fetches the *current* pos item. The item can be skipped only after seq_ops->show() which essentially is the beginning of seq_ops->next().
For example, I have 7 ipv6 route entries, root@arch-fb-vm1:~/net-next dd if=/proc/net/ipv6_route bs=4096 00000000000000000000000000000000 40 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000400 00000001 00000000 00000001 eth0 fe800000000000000000000000000000 40 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000100 00000001 00000000 00000001 eth0 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 ffffffff 00000001 00000000 00200200 lo 00000000000000000000000000000001 80 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 00000003 00000000 80200001 lo fe800000000000002050e3fffebd3be8 80 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000000 00000002 00000000 80200001 eth0 ff000000000000000000000000000000 08 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00000100 00000004 00000000 00000001 eth0 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 00 00000000000000000000000000000000 ffffffff 00000001 00000000 00200200 lo 0+1 records in 0+1 records out 1050 bytes (1.0 kB, 1.0 KiB) copied, 0.00707908 s, 148 kB/s root@arch-fb-vm1:~/net-next
In the above, I specify buffer size 4096, so all records can be returned to user space with a single trip to the kernel.
If I use buffer size 128, since each record size is 149, internally kernel seq_read() will read 149 into its internal buffer and return the data to user space in two read() syscalls. Then user read() syscall will trigger next seq_ops->start(). Since the current implementation increased pos even for seq_ops->start(), it will skip record #2, #4 and #6, assuming the first record is #1.

To fix the problem, create a fake pos pointer so seq_ops->start() won't actually increase seq_file pos. With this fix, the above `dd` command with `bs=128` will show correct result.
