readdir<---->generic_read_file

Hi,
Shall i say the implementation of readdir is almost
same as taht of generic_read_file of VFS except the
format of dirent or directory entries are different
specific to internal of fs,
if so then why VFS also not provides any
generic_readdir,
I dont know if its already there but i suspect as all
filesystems specially NFS done there own implementaion
of readdir,I would like to say thar the responsibilty
what readpage do have for fs developers  the same has
to be there for readdir,
I'm just commenting  this b'coz i faced the lot of
problems in implementing readdir as compared to be
supposed to be important call readpage which is very
easy b'coz of generic_file_read of VFS.
Thanks
Prasanna
