What data exactly? I thought:
1) all recv-to-gen communications went through the error_pipe[] fds.
2) the only meaningful communications were redo requests and
"I'm done".
I thought we could skip the redos and fake the "I'm done". What am I missing?

Ah, I see what you mean about the directory tweaks. AFAICT, this is
really easy to fix, though. I think it's nicer to break that tweaking
loop into its own function anyway, (independent of solving the read-batch
gen/recv sync problem.) I'm attaching a version of this gen/recv
serialization concept patch with the directory tweak in its own
function.
Just to clarify, I don't have anything against the index notification style
gen/recv syncronization. If you think that's better, then let's go that
way. But, I think there should be some expected benefit to rsync as a
whole. I.e., I don't think read-batch should drive that decision.
My opinion is that the gen/recv serialization is a simpler solution to
read-batch gen/recv sync than the index notification. (Assuming I haven't
missed something important about gen/recv communication.) But, more
importantly, what's the simpler solution for all of rsync, in the
long-term?
