The eventfs creates dynamically allocated dentries and inodes. Using the dcache_readdir() logic for its own directory lookups requires hiding the cursor of the dcache logic and playing games to allow the dcache_readdir() to still have access to the cursor while the eventfs saved what it created and what it needs to release. Instead, just have eventfs have its own iterate_shared callback function that will fill in the dent entries. This simplifies the code quite a bit.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. 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.
