Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 28/59] simplify the callers of file_open_name()
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2025 03:54:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251216035518.4037331-29-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251216035518.4037331-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

It accepts ERR_PTR() for name and does the right thing in that case.
That allows to simplify the logics in callers, making them trivial
to switch to CLASS(filename).
