I've heard complaints there's no AIO readdir(). There may well be a use-case for an IORING_OP_READDIR (although it should come with a user so we're sure we're doing something useful)

I would hope that such an operation looks more like getdents64 than readdir.

You're thinking about readdir(2) and getdents64(2). I was thinking about readdir(3).
