Hi Olaf,

[PATCH]

accessfs_readdir_aux() in fs/accessfs/inode.c

should set DT_REG, since accessfs supports just directories
and regular files. The directory is already handled before
in the sole caller of accessfs_readdir_aux().

This saves the superflous stat(2) call after readdir(2).

All in all I like the concept! It makes the life of admins
much easier.


Regards

Ingo Oeser

Thanks for this hint, it is much appreciated.

Any chance you will push this to Andrew and Linus in near future so we'll see
it in mainline?
