Wouldn't it be better to validate the position inside fd.c instead of passing
them to the lower layers?
Definitely. Feel free to do that or create a trac ticket, please.
Does it imply to check relative and absolute positions ?
In all cases but seeking you have only absolute positions. And those
should be checked for negative values as Marcus proposed.
BTW it should also fail for non seekable file systems.
Actually those should simply ignore the position argument.
