I constructed a simple test program using the above steps:

/*
 * 1. mkdir /tmp/dir and touch /tmp/dir/file1 /tmp/dir/file2
 * 2. open /tmp/dir with fd1
 * 3. readdir and get /tmp/dir/file1
 * 4. rm /tmp/dir/file2
 * 5. touch /tmp/dir/file2
 * 6. loop 4~5 for 2^32 times
 * 7. readdir /tmp/dir with fd1

I ran the test program above on this kernel:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git/log/?h=nfsd-testing

Note that it has a patch to restrict the range of directory offset
values for tmpfs to 2..4096.

I did not observe any unexpected behavior after the offset values
wrapped. At step 7, I can always see file2, and its offset is always
4. At step "cel" I can see all expected directory entries.

I tested on v6.12-rc7 with the same range restriction but using
Maple tree and 64-bit offsets. No unexpected behavior there either.

So either we're still missing something, or there is no problem. My
only theory is maybe it's an issue with an implicit integer sign
conversion, and we should restrict the offset range to 2..S32_MAX.

I can try testing with a range of (U32_MAX - 4096)..(U32_MAX).

Invitation still stands: if you have a solid reproducer, please post
it.
