Ted,

I've been testing 5b5b7fd185e9 (linus/master) and seeing that
interrupted readdir() now returns duplicate dirents.

Reverting commit 1028b55bafb7 ("ext4: allow readdir()'s of large empty
directories to be interrupted") avoids duplicates.

On 5b5b7fd185e9 a SIGPROF to the test program below occasionally causes
"already seen name" error.  On older kernels, it runs indefinitely
without error.

/*
  mkdir /tmp/foo
  cd /tmp/foo
  for i in $(seq 0 599); do touch $i; done
  /tmp/scanner &
  kill -PROF %1
 */

#include <dirent.h>
#include <err.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

static void handler(int unused)
{
}

int main() {
	enum { count = 600 };
	char seen[count];
	struct dirent *ent;
	DIR *dir;
	struct sigaction sa = {0};

	sa.sa_handler = handler;
	if (sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask))
		err(1, "sigemptyset");
	sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART;
	if (sigaction(SIGPROF, &sa, NULL))
		err(1, "sigaction");

	for (;;) {
		memset(seen, 0, sizeof(seen));
		dir = opendir(".");
		if (dir == NULL)
			err(1, "opendir(.)");
		while ((ent = readdir(dir)) != NULL) {
			int idx;

			if ((strcmp(ent->d_name, ".") == 0) ||
			    (strcmp(ent->d_name, "..") == 0)) {
				continue;
			}
			idx = atoi(ent->d_name);
			if (idx >= count) {
				errx(1, "bogus name %s index %d", ent->d_name, idx);
			}
			if (seen[idx]) {
				errx(1, "already seen name %s index %d", ent->d_name, idx);
			}
			seen[idx] = 1;
		}
		if (closedir(dir))
			err(1, "closedir(.)");
	}
}
