One of these patches is making new entries not show up in readdir. This was discovered while running stress.sh overnight, it complained about files not matching but when they were checked the files matched. Dropping the entire series made stress.sh run fine. So I'm dropping these for the next merge window but I'll dig into it and try and figure out what was causing the problem.
