Subject: [PATCH] NFSD: Replace isdotent() macro
Date: Sun, 21 Jun 2026 17:35:35 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260621213535.539450-1-cel@kernel.org> (raw)
The VFS provides name_is_dot_dotdot() as the canonical helper for
recognizing the "." and ".." directory entries, and fs/ already uses
it widely. nfsd has instead carried its own open-coded isdotent()
macro that computes the same predicate for non-empty names, a needless
duplicate of shared functionality. The macro reads the first name byte
without first confirming the name is non-empty; name_is_dot_dotdot()
tests the length first, so it never touches a zero-length buffer.
Convert every isdotent() call site to the generic helper and remove the
macro.
