If you have one reader and one-or-more writers, the reader will go back to the start, but if you have two readers and one-or-more writers, only one reader will see the 'changed' flag before the other one resets it. You need to use a sequence counter or something if you want this to be proof against multiple readers, and honestly I don't think it's worth it. POSIX says: : 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. > + eod = i_size + sbi->record_size; > + > + if (pos >= eod) > + return 0; > + > + if (!dir_emit_dots(file, ctx)) > + return 0; > + > + /* allocate PATH_MAX bytes */ > + name = __getname(); > + if (!name) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > + ni_lock(ni); What is ni_lock() protecting against here? You're being called under the protection of dir->i_rwsem, which excludes simultaneous calls to create, link, mknod, symlink, mkdir, unlink, rmdir and rename. > +const struct file_operations ntfs_dir_operations = { > + .llseek = generic_file_llseek, > + .read = generic_read_dir, > + .iterate = ntfs_readdir, This should probably be iterate_shared so multiple calls to readdir can be in progress at once (see Documentation/filesystems/porting)
