Currently the guestfs_readdir() API can not list long directories, due to
it sending back the whole directory listing in a single guestfs protocol
response, which is limited to GUESTFS_MESSAGE_MAX (approx. 4MB) in size.
Introduce the "internal_readdir" action, for transferring the directory
listing from the daemon to the library through a FileOut parameter.
Rewrite guestfs_readdir() on top of this new internal function:
- The new "internal_readdir" action is a daemon action. Repurpose the
"readdir" proc_nr (138) for "internal_readdir". Assume the new
action
will first be released in libguestfs-1.48.2.
- Turn "readdir" from a daemon action into a non-daemon one. Call the
daemon action guestfs_internal_readdir() manually, receive the FileOut
parameter into a temp file, then deserialize the dirents array from the
temp file.
This patch sneakily fixes an independent bug, too. In the pre-patch
do_readdir() function [daemon/readdir.c], when readdir() returns NULL, we
don't distinguish "end of directory stream" from "readdir()
failed". This
rewrite fixes this problem -- I didn't see much value separating out the
fix for the original do_readdir().
