Marcelo, The following patch continues the 2.4 lseek cleanup by removing a redundant ufs_file_lseek implementation and having UFS use the standard generic_file_llseek. Al (who signed off on this for 2.5) says the implementation assumed it needed explicit size checking, but the standard generic_file_llseek does this just fine. So it is redundant and a sane cleanup. The patch is already in -ac, but not in 2.4.19-pre3. This is against 2.4.19-pre3, please apply.
