nfs_readdir()
- fs/nfs/dir.c
- dentry defined in include/linux/dcache.h
- file defined in include/linux/fs.h
- path defined in include/linux/path.h
- nfs_entry defined in /include/linux/nfs_xdr.h
- make a new dentry: my_entry
- set the cookie to the previous file, allocate a file handle and attribute struct, mark that we are not at the end of the file
- If allocations failed, goto out_alloc_failed
- Block silly renames from running
- call nfs_revalidate_mapping (fs/nfs/inode.c) to validate the page cache
- if there is an error revalidating the cache, goto out
- Begin a loop over directory entries
- while we have not reached the end of the directory file:
- Search the page cache for the requested page (dir.c: readdir_search_pagecache)
- if searching results in a bad cookie (EBADCOOKIE), it could mean that we are at the end of the directory or that the file has been deleted
- ask the server fore the next file and add to the page cache using filldir (dir.c: uncached_readdir)
- if the response is good, go to the beginning of the while loop and look up the next entry, otherwise break out of the loop
- if the server's response is bigger than the size limit set by the client (ETOOSMALL) and if we are doing a readdir plus
- clear the "NFS_INO_ADVISE_RDPLUS" flag contained in the nfs_inode
- "zap" the cache (invalidate the nfs_inode)
- if res indicates any other error, break out of the loop
- add the page to the cache
- break out of the loop if there is a problem adding the page to the cache
- out:
- unblock (allow) silly renames
- set response is non zero, set it equal to zero
- out_alloc_failed:
- free file handle and attr structs in my_entry
- print a message stating what is being returned
- return the response code
