[f2fs-dev] [PATCH RFC 3/7] libfs: Validate negative dentries in case-insensitive directories

[Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@collabora.com>]

Introduce a dentry revalidation helper to be used by case-insensitive
filesystems to check if it is safe to reuse a negative dentry.

A negative dentry is safe to be reused on a case-insensitive lookup if
it was created during a case-insensitive lookup and this is not a lookup
that will instantiate a dentry. If this is a creation lookup, we also
need to make sure the name matches sensitively the name under lookup in
order to assure the name preserving semantics.
