Dear folks,
i've been puzzled a bit by a wierd offset i get in UDF's VOP_READDIR() that
specific calls to getdents() generate when used by shells for globbing etc.
A breakpoint tracked it back to compat_30_sys_getdents. There i read that
the value of `ncookies' as returned by the VOP_READDIR() is not used at
all. Also the function *demands* NFS support or a dirent stream to be
called again by the sum of all dirent lengths.
Since my UDF implementation doesn't grok NFS yet it got bitten by that. Now
i dont know why this assumption is made for the VOP_READDIR itself updates
the uio with the new offset to be callable again wich normally goes OK.
So should the compat's getdents code
1) honour the ncookies returned?
2) use the auio.uio_offset for the next call/batch ?
With regards,
Reinoud
