+Subject: find: make -delete honour the -ignore_readdir_race option
+
+* find/pred.c (pred_delete): Return true when the -ignore_readdir_race
+option is active and unlinkat() came back with ENOENT.
+* doc/find.texi (Option -ignore_readdir_race): Document the change.
+(Action -delete): Likewise.
+* find/find.1: Likewise.
+* NEWS (Bug Fixes): Mention the fix.
+
+For now, it seems a bit hard to add a proper test for this,
+so the following shell snippet demonstrates the race:
+
+  $ seq 10 | xargs touch
+  $ env time -f 'find exit status: %x\nfind time: %e' \
+      find -ignore_readdir_race -type f \
+        -delete \
+        -exec sh -c 'sleep $(basename {})' \; \
+        -printf 'find deleted: %p\n' \
+        & \
+    sleep 20; \
+    seq 10 | xargs rm -fv; \
+    wait $!
