Subject: [PATCH 1/2] hfs: do not end readdir at i_size after an unlink
Date: Thu, 12 Nov 2026 06:17:44 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261112111745.4094283-2-hengyul@cs.unc.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261112111745.4094283-1-hengyul@cs.unc.edu>

Commit 7fde7e806657 ("hfs: rework hfsplus_readdir() logic") stopped
moving the position of open directories back when an entry is deleted.

However, hfs_readdir() still ends when ctx->pos reaches i_size, and
i_size drops on every delete. As of now, a program that reads a
directory and deletes what it read sees the directory end early and
leaves files behind.

The issue can be reproduced with BusyBox rm on a new hfs volume:

    mkdir /mnt/d
    (cd /mnt/d && for i in $(seq 1500); do : > f$i; done)
    rm -r /mnt/d

Before commit 7fde7e806657 ("hfs: rework hfsplus_readdir() logic"),
the directory is removed. After that commit, the result is:

    rm: can't remove '/mnt/d': Directory not empty

and 304 files are left.

This patch will end a walk that continues from the saved key where the
records of the directory end, and keep the i_size check for a walk that
starts from a position.

Application impact (Ubuntu 26.04 user space): a folder with 1500 files
on an HFS volume is moved to the trash, then the trash is emptied with
"gio trash --empty" (the call behind "Empty Trash" in GNOME Files, done
by gvfsd-trash 1.60). On v7.1, all files are removed. On v7.2, the trash
looks empty, but 478 files stay in .Trash-0/expunged and their space is
not freed.
