Subject: [PATCH 3/3] ovl: use name_is_dot* helpers in readdir code
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2026 14:24:06 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260128132406.23768-4-amir73il@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260128132406.23768-1-amir73il@gmail.com>
Use the helpers in place of all the different open coded variants.
This makes the code more readable and robust.
