Subject: libfs: massage path_from_stashed() to allow custom stashing behavior
X-Git-Tag: block-6.17-20250808~55^2~5^2~14
X-Git-Url: https://git.kernel.dk/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bda3f1608d993419fa247dc11263fc931ceca58a;p=linux-block.git

libfs: massage path_from_stashed() to allow custom stashing behavior

* Add a callback to struct stashed_operations so it's possible to
  implement custom behavior for pidfs and allow for it to return errors.

* Teach stashed_dentry_get() to handle error pointers.
