[PATCH v5 5/5] libfs: Use d_children list to iterate simple_offset directories

cel
2024-12-15T18:58:25Z

The mtree mechanism has been effective at creating directory offsets
that are stable over multiple opendir instances. However, it has not
been able to handle the subtleties of renames that are concurrent
with readdir.

Instead of using the mtree to emit entries in the order of their
offset values, use it only to map incoming ctx->pos to a starting
entry. Then use the directory's d_children list, which is already
maintained properly by the dcache, to find the next child to emit.

One of the sneaky things about this is that when the mtree-allocated
offset value wraps (which is very rare), looking up ctx->pos++ is
not going to find the next entry; it will return NULL. Instead, by
following the d_children list, the offset values can appear in any
order but all of the entries in the directory will be visited
eventually.

Note also that the readdir() is guaranteed to reach the tail of this
list. Entries are added only at the head of d_children, and readdir
walks from its current position in that list towards its tail.
