DHT attempts to use up the entire buffer in readdirp before unwinding in an attempt to reduce the number of calls. However, this has 2 disadvantages: 1. This can cause a stack overflow when parallel readdir is enabled. If the buffer only has a little space,rda can send back only one or two entries. If those entries are stripped out by dht_readdirp_cbk (linkto files for example) it will once again wind down to rda in an attempt to fill the buffer before unwinding to FUSE. This process can continue for several iterations, causing the stack to grow and eventually overflow, causing the process to crash. 2. If parallel readdir is disabled, dht could send readdirp calls with small buffers to the bricks, thus increasing the number of network calls. We are therefore reverting to the existing behaviour. Please note, this only mitigates the stack overflow, it does not prevent it from happening. This is still possible if a subvol has thousands of linkto files for instance.
