Subject: [PATCH v4 29/59] simplify the callers of file_open_name()
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 07:37:33 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108073803.425343-30-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108073803.425343-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
It accepts ERR_PTR() for name and does the right thing in that case.
That allows to simplify the logics in callers, making them trivial
to switch to CLASS(filename).
