Re: [PATCH v3 0/7] Fix getdents{64} regression on some FS

[Dave Flogeras <dflogeras2@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

It seems that Peter Maydell of qemu fame thinks it could be solved in qemu
if/when the kernel people add an explicit 32bit mode to the filesystem API.

See the bug here:
https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/263

And specifically, he mentions that Linus Walleij has submitted a
preliminary patch, which has yet to be looked at.

https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-
devel/20201117233928.255671-1-linus.walleij@linaro.org/

Not sure if this is an easier path or not, but it might be worth pinging
the kernel ML.

Best regards,
Dave
