Yan, Zheng 84583cfb97 ceph: fix race in concurrent readdir
For a large directory, program needs to issue multiple readdir
syscalls to get all dentries. When there are multiple programs
read the directory concurrently. Following sequence of events
can happen.

 - program calls readdir with pos = 2. ceph sends readdir request
   to mds. The reply contains N1 entries. ceph adds these N1 entries
   to readdir cache.
 - program calls readdir with pos = N1+2. The readdir is satisfied
   by the readdir cache, N2 entries are returned. (Other program
   calls readdir in the middle, which fills the cache)
 - program calls readdir with pos = N1+N2+2. ceph sends readdir
   request to mds. The reply contains N3 entries and it reaches
   directory end. ceph adds these N3 entries to the readdir cache
   and marks directory complete.

The second readdir call does not update fi->readdir_cache_idx.
ceph add the last N3 entries to wrong places.

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
