Hi,
Given the performance improvements in using getdents/getdirentries on
those systems that have them, it seems to me to be better to have
getdirentries in the VFS rather than readdir. For those systems that do
not have getdents and getdirentries, we would simply fall back to readdir
in the VFS layer.
Does anyone have any comments? (Apart from the amount of work involved in
doing it :-)
Regards
