[bug #54913] find: "-type"-test wrong on bind-mounted char device

[Bernhard Voelker]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #54913 (project findutils):

yes, getdents returns d_type=DT_REG, while the later newfstatat - needed for
the -ls action - returns st_mode=S_IFCHR:


getdents(4, [
  {d_ino=319425, d_off=1, d_reclen=24, d_name=".", d_type=DT_DIR},
  {d_ino=13363,  d_off=2, d_reclen=24, d_name="..", d_type=DT_DIR},
  {d_ino=322564, d_off=3, d_reclen=40, d_name="bindmntoverfile",
d_type=DT_REG},
  {d_ino=319462, d_off=4, d_reclen=24, d_name="null", d_type=DT_CHR}], 32768)
= 112
...
newfstatat(5, "bindmntoverfile", {
  st_dev=makedev(0, 21), 
  st_ino=319462,
  st_mode=S_IFCHR|0644,
  st_nlink=1,
  st_uid=0,
  st_gid=0,
  st_blksize=4096,
  st_blocks=0,
  st_rdev=makedev(1, 3),
  st_atime=1540884672 /* 2018-10-30T08:31:12.131190660+0100 */,
st_atime_nsec=131190660,
  st_mtime=1540884672 /* 2018-10-30T08:31:12.131190660+0100 */,
st_mtime_nsec=131190660,
  st_ctime=1540884672 /* 2018-10-30T08:31:12.131190660+0100 */,
st_ctime_nsec=131190660},
  AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW) = 0


At least this is not an FTS regression, as 'oldfind' suffered from the same
issue.
