Hi!

Mainline commit 44512449c0ab368889dd13ae0031fba74ee7e1d2
(jfs: fix readdir cookie incompatibility with NFSv4) does not work as expected on 3.2.
Maybe on other stable kernels too.

UML stumbled over it:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94741

If you run the attached readdir.c on a JFS on stable 3.2.51+ readdir() will not
increment the directory offset nor return NULL, hence the caller will loop forever.
It looks like if the current directory offset is > 0 and you run seekdir(telldir())
the next readdir() call will not increment it.

Dave, has your fix some unnamed dependencies which need backporting too?

Thanks,
