There isn't a complete tie between that linear walk and the open - which
must then do a lookup of sorts. The kernel does try and cache namespaces
that are looked up/walked in the dcache.

It's simply not a real world case in any kind of normal use.

Backuppc is a very real world use case. It is so handy everyone should be running it: http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ It works pretty well as long as you don't try to traverse the whole directory tree or copy the archive with a file-oriented mechanism.
