    bpf: Fix pos computation for bpf_iter seq_ops->start() · 3f9969f2
    Yonghong Song authored
    Currently, the pos pointer in bpf iterator map/task/task_file
    seq_ops->start() is always incremented.
    This is incorrect. It should be increased only if
    *pos is 0 (for SEQ_START_TOKEN) since these start()
    function actually returns the first real object.
    If *pos is not 0, it merely found the object
    based on the state in seq->private, and not really
    advancing the *pos. This patch fixed this issue
    by only incrementing *pos if it is 0.
    
    Note that the old *pos calculation, although not
    correct, does not affect correctness of bpf_iter
    as bpf_iter seq_file->read() does not support llseek.
    
    This patch also renamed "mid" in bpf_map iterator
    seq_file private data to "map_id" for better clarity.
