hmm:

[root@proto edited]# head Makefile
VERSION = 2
PATCHLEVEL = 5
SUBLEVEL = 64
EXTRAVERSION =

fs/ext2/dir.c:

struct file_operations ext2_dir_operations = {
        .read = generic_read_dir,
        .readdir = ext2_readdir,
        .ioctl = ext2_ioctl,
        .fsync = ext2_sync_file,
};

fs/read_write.c:

static inline loff_t llseek(struct file *file, loff_t offset, int origin)
{
        loff_t (*fn)(struct file *, loff_t, int);

        fn = default_llseek;
        if (file->f_op && file->f_op->llseek)
                fn = file->f_op->llseek;
        return fn(file, offset, origin);
}
