Hi,

I've been thinking about the non serialized readdirs. I do not understand.
Readdirs have to be serialized, since the offset of the next readdir
(belonging to the opendir) is known when the current readdir is
finished:
"start where current left".

So it means probably that lookup (which in fact is only a read only
operation) of a name in a directory can be done while a readdir
is active on the same directory.

Or something else? Two readdirs (or more) belonging to different
opendirs active on the same directory?
