Is it always worse then lseek?
The man page says: The st_size field gives the size of the file (if it is a regular file or a symbolic link) in bytes. The size of a symbolic link is the length of the pathname it contains, without a terminating null byte. So it can not work on symbolic link.
Does it work for blk?
Quickly checked with a program written by myself and 'stat' command, the answer is NO. :)
also, "This patch tries to add..". Hmm. It looks like this patch is not sure about will it success. I'd prefer "This patch adds", but this is not important
Thanks for your sharing. I did not know the different, now, i got it. :)
