🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
openat failure returns None. It does not fall back to the absolute path.
A non-EINTR error from openat returns None immediately. The absolute-path open never runs. Example: the base directory fd points to an inode that was replaced, so ENOENT comes back from the stale directory. The file then drops out of search silently. The old code opened the path again and found it.
One cheap fix: stop using return None and fall through to the absolute open.

I'm not sure this is a good idea, we had bitten by this before

Agreed — measured it with and without. Unbounded growth only won on one query shape (strong prefilter, page fills late: phylink_ethtool +24% slower with fixed base_chunk), and the absent-query case it was meant for no longer touches this loop since rare_keys collapses those to ~50 candidates. Worst-case over-scan past a filled page was up to max_chunk = 28K files ≈ 27 ms warm / ~0.9 s cold on linux.
f296c4b caps strong-prefilter growth at base_chunk * 8 (896 files here) with reset on match: keeps the phylink win (+2.7% vs unbounded, in noise) and bounds over-scan to <1 ms warm / ~27 ms cold.
