I can not reproduce that (on openSUSE 11.1). I also don't see
the _llseek() calls.

open(".", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_DIRECTORY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
fstat(3, {st_dev=makedev(0, 18), ...
getdents64(3, {
  {d_ino=260, d_off=2, d_type=DT_DIR, d_reclen=24, d_name="."}
  {d_ino=256, d_off=2, d_type=DT_DIR, d_reclen=24, d_name=".."}
  {d_ino=261, d_off=3, d_type=DT_REG, d_reclen=24, d_name="a"}
  {d_ino=262, d_off=4, d_type=DT_REG, d_reclen=24, d_name="b"}
  {d_ino=263, d_off=5, d_type=DT_REG, d_reclen=24, d_name="c"}
  {d_ino=264, d_off=6, d_type=DT_DIR, d_reclen=24, d_name="test"}
  {d_ino=265, d_off=9223372036854775807, d_type=DT_DIR, d_reclen=32, d_name="linux"}
}, 4096) = 176
getdents64(3, {}, 4096)                 = 0
close(3)                     

This is with today's git kernel and today's standalone btrfs unstable.

You are using the distro kernel and compile the standalone btrfs module?
