This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

staging: android: ashmem: lseek failed due to no FMODE_LSEEK.

to my staging git tree which can be found at
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git

Subject: staging: android: ashmem: lseek failed due to no FMODE_LSEEK.

vfs_llseek will check whether the file mode has
FMODE_LSEEK, no return failure. But ashmem can be
lseek, so add FMODE_LSEEK to ashmem file.

Comment From Greg Hackmann:
ashmem_llseek() passes the llseek() call through to the backing shmem file. 91360b02ab48 ("ashmem: use vfs_llseek()") changed this from directly calling the file's llseek() op into a VFS layer call. This also adds a check for the FMODE_LSEEK bit, so without that bit ashmem_llseek() now always fails with -ESPIPE.
