Having an infinite readdir sounds like a bug, or at least an
inconvenience and surprising for users.
We had that problem in btrfs which affected users/applications, see:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/2c8c55ec-04c6-e0dc-9c5c-8c7924778c35@xxxxxxxxxxx/

which was surprising for them since every other filesystem they
used/tested didn't have that problem.
Why not fix tmpfs?

Thanks.
