The bug occurs when a filesystem client reads a directory until the end,
seeks using seekdir() to some valid non-zero position and calls
readdir(). A valid 'struct dirent *' is expected, but NULL is returned
instead. Pseudocode demonstrating the bug:
DIR *dp = opendir("some_dir");
struct dirent *de = readdir(dp);
/* Get offset of the second entry */
long offset = telldir(dp);
/* Read directory until the end */
while (de)
de = readdir(de);
seekdir(dp, offset);
de = readdir(dp);
/* de must contain the second entry, but NULL is returned instead */
The reason of the bug is that when the end of directory is reached, the
kernel calls FUSE_READDIR op with an offset at the end of directory, so
the filesystem's .readdir callback never calls the filler function, and
we end up with dh->filled set to 1. After seekdir(), FUSE_READDIR is
called again with a new offset, but this time the filesystem's .readdir
callback is never called, and an empty reply is returned.
Fix by setting dh->filled to 1 only when zero offsets are given to
filler function.
