[PATCH] FUSE - Transfer readdir data through device

From: Miklos Szeredi
Date: Wed Jan 19 2005 - 16:54:05 EST


Andrew,

This patch removes a long lasting "hack" in FUSE, which used a
separate channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to
transfer directory contents from userspace to the kernel.

The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR),
which have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective
file operations (OPEN, READ, RELEASE).

This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not
necessary, which can be important in embedded systems.

Please apply.

Thanks,
Miklos
