getdirentriesattr usage in the FInder

Hi,

I'm implementing a VFS plug-in. In order to improve the Finder performance on our volumes I would like to support the getdirentriesattr call.
For testing purposes I added a dummy vnop_readdirattr implementation to my FS that always returns an empty list. I also set the VOL_CAP_INT_READDIRATTR
flag in the volume capabilities.
With this change I can call getdirentriesattr() from a test programm and get an empty list as expected. The Finder however does not use the getdirentriesattr()
on my volumes, but still calls getdirentries() followed by stat()/ getxattr() calls for each file.


What is the missing piece to make the Finder use the more advanced getdirentriesattr() call?
Do I have to support a specific minimum set of getattrlist() attributes? Do I have to support volfs?


Any help is appreciated.

Best,
Timo
