Thank you, but apparently this is not the end of story.

I committed the linuxolator part of change, but I think that tmpfs
change is uncomplete yet. Strictly following getdirentries(2), tmpfs
must return EINVAL in the case when no single record can be returned.
Currently, it indicates EOF instead. I think this could be a complete
solution, but it might break e.g. Linux ldconfig(8) since it exposed
the linuxolator situation.

Can you apply the patch below over the latest HEAD with r217578 included
and retest ? Thanks.
