      aufs: ioctl, rdu (readdir in userspace) · 681a21c3

      For a directory which has millions of files, aufs VDIR consumes
      much memory. In this case, RDU (readdir(3) in user-space) is definitely
      better.
      If you enable CONFIG_AUFS_RDU at compiling aufs, install libau.so from
      aufs-util.git, and set some environment variables, then you can use this
      feature. When readdir(3) in libau.so receives an aufs dir, it issues
      ioctl(2) instead of regular readdir(3).
      All merging and whiteout handling are done in userspace.
