Right, I was mistaken.

Yes, but your patch allocates copy of name and (some) filters set it to
NULL so it is leaked.

What about attached patch? It does not increase size of kernel.

I am not thrilled as it does require more discipline from filter author.
OTOH we may find some way to consolidate boilerplate later.

@Dann, this also solves your concerns about layering violation in
progress module as side effect. Could you test this patch? Thank you!

Subject: [PATCH] file: make sure file name is set when filters are used

In grub_file_open the file handle returned by file filters has no file->name
set which leads to segmentation fault later referenced by grub_elf_file. This
patch tries to fix the problem.

 gdb --args ./grub-file --is-x86_64-xen-domu /boot/vmlinux-4.1.12-1-default.gz

 29        elf = grub_elf_file (file, file->name);

Initialize file->name early and make sure it is set in file structure returned
by each filter. Note that each filter must set it to NULL in its ->close method
to avoid double free.

It also makes redundant special case for net in progress module, because now file
name is set also for net files.
