Never seen this but I suspect it is a fallout from Al's directory locking
changes. In particular ext4_htree_fill_tree() builds rb-tree of found
directory entries in file->private_data (and generally modifies the
structure stored there) but after Al's changes we don't have exclusive
access to struct file if I'm right so if two processes end up calling
getdents() for the same 'struct file' we are doomed.
That being said two getdents() calls for a single fd looks like a stupid
things to do but I don't see anything that would prevent this. Does the
attached patch fix the issue for you?
If I'm right, better fix would be to exclude two ->readdir callbacks for
one fd but that would be slightly more complicated patch...

Subject: [PATCH] ext4: Use exclusive locking for ext4_readdir()
We use file->private_data to track information for readdir calls. As
such we cannot allow two readdir calls to happen at the same time for
one struct file as they end up corrupting the information. For now just
revert back to the old behavior where readdirs are synchronized.
