From d1f5273e9adb40724a85272f248f210dc4ce919a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fan Yong Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2012 22:44:40 -0400 Subject: ext4: return 32/64-bit dir name hash according to usage type Traditionally ext2/3/4 has returned a 32-bit hash value from llseek() to appease NFSv2, which can only handle a 32-bit cookie for seekdir() and telldir(). However, this causes problems if there are 32-bit hash collisions, since the NFSv2 server can get stuck resending the same entries from the directory repeatedly. Allow ext4 to return a full 64-bit hash (both major and minor) for telldir to decrease the chance of hash collisions. This still needs integration on the NFS side.
