Again we have claimed regressions for walking a directory tree, this time with the "find" utility which always tries to optimize away asking for any attributes until it has a complete list of entries. This behavior makes the readdir plus heuristic do the wrong thing, which causes a storm of GETATTRs to determine each entry's type in order to continue the walk. For v4 add the type attribute to each READDIR request to include it no matter the heuristic. This allows a simple `find` command to proceed quickly through a directory tree.

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.
