Stable offsets are needed so that NFS can reliably read directories on filesystems such as tmpfs: - Improve the end-of-directory detection According to getdents(3), the d_off field in each returned directory entry points to the next entry in the directory. The d_off field in the last returned entry in the readdir buffer must contain a valid offset value, but if it points to an actual directory entry, then readdir/getdents can loop. Introduce a specific fixed offset value that is placed in the d_off field of the last entry in a directory. Some user space applications assume that the EOD offset value is larger than the offsets of real directory entries, so the largest valid offset value is reserved for this purpose. This new value is never allocated by simple_offset_add(). When ->iterate_dir() returns, getdents{64} inserts the ctx->pos value into the d_off field of the last valid entry in the readdir buffer. When it hits EOD, offset_readdir() sets ctx->pos to the EOD offset value so the last entry is updated to point to the EOD marker. When trying to read the entry at the EOD offset, offset_readdir() terminates immediately. - Rely on d_children to iterate stable offset directories 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. - Narrow the range of directory offset values returned by simple_offset_add() to 3 .. (S32_MAX - 1) on all platforms. This means the allocation behavior is identical on 32-bit systems, 64-bit systems, and 32-bit user space on 64-bit kernels. The new range still permits over 2 billion concurrent entries per directory. - Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted. Hitting this error is almost impossible though. - Remove the simple_offset_empty() helper" * tag 'vfs-6.14-rc1.libfs' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs: libfs: Use d_children list to iterate simple_offset directories libfs: Replace simple_offset end-of-directory detection Revert "libfs: fix infinite directory reads for offset dir" Revert "libfs: Add simple_offset_empty()" libfs: Return ENOSPC when the directory offset range is exhausted |

Linux kernel
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use make htmldocs
or
make pdfdocs
. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
