Current cephfs client uses string to indicate start position of readdir. The string is last entry of previous readdir reply. This approach does not work for seeky readdir because we can not easily convert the new postion to a string. For seeky readdir, mds needs to return dentries from the beginning. Client keeps retrying if the reply does not contain the dentry it wants. In current version of ceph, mds sorts CDentry in its cache in hash order. Client also uses dentry hash to compose dir postion. For seeky readdir, if client passes the hash part of dir postion to mds. mds can avoid replying useless dentries.
