Subject: [PATCH v4 49/59] filename_...xattr(): don't consume filename reference
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 07:37:53 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108073803.425343-50-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108073803.425343-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
Callers switched to CLASS(filename_maybe_null) (in fs/xattr.c)
and CLASS(filename_complete_delayed) (in io_uring/xattr.c).
Experimental calling conventions change; with the existing
infrastructure it does not inconvenience the callers, at least
for these ones...
Might be worth doing the same to do_renameat2() and friends.
