When we're running as a 64-bit architecture and are not running in 32-bit compatibility mode, it is better to use the 64-bit readdir cookies that supplied by the server. Doing so improves the accuracy of telldir()/seekdir(), particularly when the directory is changing, for instance, when doing 'rm -rf'. We still fall back to using the 32-bit offsets on 32-bit architectures and when in compatibility mode. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@hammerspace.com>
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.
