From 5741909697a31cfb08e45d56b4211959fb791487 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: NeilBrown Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2025 14:01:32 +1100 Subject: [PATCH] VFS: improve interface for lookup_one functions The family of functions: lookup_one() lookup_one_unlocked() lookup_one_positive_unlocked() appear designed to be used by external clients of the filesystem rather than by filesystems acting on themselves as the lookup_one_len family are used. They are used by: btrfs/ioctl - which is a user-space interface rather than an internal activity exportfs - i.e. from nfsd or the open_by_handle_at interface overlayfs - at access the underlying filesystems smb/server - for file service They should be used by nfsd (more than just the exportfs path) and cachefs but aren't. It would help if the documentation didn't claim they should "not be called by generic code". Also the path component name is passed as "name" and "len" which are (confusingly?) separate by the "base". In some cases the len in simply "strlen" and so passing a qstr using QSTR() would make the calling clearer. Other callers do pass separate name and len which are stored in a struct. Sometimes these are already stored in a qstr, other times it easily could be. So this patch changes these three functions to receive a 'struct qstr *', and improves the documentation. QSTR_LEN() is added to make it easy to pass a QSTR containing a known len.
