commit 357950361cbc6d54fb68ed878265c647384684ae upstream.
When opening a directory for reading it, we set the last index where we stop iteration to the value in struct btrfs_inode::index_cnt. That value does not match the index of the most recently added directory entry but it's instead the index number that will be assigned the next directory entry.
This means that if after the call to opendir(3) new directory entries are added, a readdir(3) call will return the first new directory entry. This is fine because POSIX says the following [1]:
"If a file is removed from or added to the directory after the most recent call to opendir() or rewinddir(), whether a subsequent call to readdir() returns an entry for that file is unspecified."
For example for the test script from commit 9b378f6ad48c ("btrfs: fix infinite directory reads"), where we have 2000 files in a directory, ext4 doesn't return any new directory entry after opendir(3), while xfs returns the first 13 new directory entries added after the opendir(3) call.
If we move to a shorter example with an empty directory when opendir(3) is called, and 2 files added to the directory after the opendir(3) call, then readdir(3) on btrfs will return the first file, ext4 and xfs return the 2 files (but in a different order). A test program for this, reported by Ian Johnson, is the following:
#include <dirent.h> #include <stdio.h>
int main(void) { DIR *dir = opendir("test");
FILE *file; file = fopen("test/1", "w"); fwrite("1", 1, 1, file); fclose(file);
file = fopen("test/2", "w"); fwrite("2", 1, 1, file); fclose(file);
struct dirent *entry; while ((entry = readdir(dir))) { printf("%s\n", entry->d_name); } closedir(dir); return 0; }
To make this less odd, change the behaviour to never return new entries that were added after the opendir(3) call. This is done by setting the last_index field of the struct btrfs_file_private attached to the directory's file handle with a value matching btrfs_inode::index_cnt minus 1, since that value always matches the index of the next new directory entry and not the index of the most recently added entry.
