Subject: [PATCH v4 12/59] getname_flags() massage, part 1
Date: Thu, 8 Jan 2026 07:37:16 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108073803.425343-13-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108073803.425343-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>
In case of long name don't reread what we'd already copied.
memmove() it instead. That avoids the possibility of ending
up with empty name there and the need to look at the flags
on the slow path.
