But yes, dir5 is vestigial and should indeed be removed. It was created back when I wanted to make dir-iterator detect and avoid recursive symlinks (see this [1] earlier version of the patch, where there was a test grepping for dir5 at the output). But this idea ended up being discarded and I must have forgotten to remove the dir5. [1]: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20190502144829.4394-7-matheus.bernardino@xxxxxx/
