[PATCH] fuse: transfer readdir data through device
This patch removes a long lasting "hack" in FUSE, which used a separate channel (a file descriptor refering to a disk-file) to transfer directory contents from userspace to the kernel. The patch adds three new operations (OPENDIR, READDIR, RELEASEDIR), which have semantics and implementation exactly maching the respective file operations (OPEN, READ, RELEASE). This simplifies the directory reading code. Also disk space is not necessary, which can be important in embedded systems.
