That's not a fix, that's removing a feature instead of fixing it :-)

UDS_LINK_DEST should only be set for symlinks.
Are you saying that ep->d_type & DT_LNK is true for normal files too?
Ah I see:
This should say ep->d_type == DT_LNK, it's not a bitfield.
(DT_LNK is 10, DT_REG is 8)
Same for the other tests for d_type, they should all use == then.
Can you test if that fixes what you're seeing, and commit (to 4.11) if so?
Thanks.
