That should be quite easy to quantify then. Move the readdir and stat
call next to each other in the sources, pass the struct stat around if
necessary, and then count the stat calls which do not originate from the
stat following the readdir call. Of course we'll also need the actual
improvement which can be achieved by combining the calls. Given the
inodes are cached, is there more overhead then finding the right inode?
Note that is rsync doesn't already use fstatat() it should do so and
this means then that there is no long file path to follow, all file
names are local to the directory opened with opendir().
My but feeling is that the improvements are minimal for normal (not
cluster etc) filesystems and hence the improvements for kernel.org would
be minimal.
