The last update to readdir introduced a temporary buffer to store the
emitted readdir data, but as there are file names of variable length,
there's a lot of unaligned access.
This was observed on a sparc64 machine:
Kernel unaligned access at TPC[102f3080] btrfs_real_readdir+0x51c/0x718 [btrfs]
Fixes: 23b5ec7494 ("btrfs: fix readdir deadlock with pagefault")

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
