Subject: [PATCH v4 17/59] allow to use CLASS() for struct filename *
Date: Thu,  8 Jan 2026 07:37:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260108073803.425343-18-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260108073803.425343-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

Not all users match that model, but quite a few do.  No mindless
mass conversions, please...

Added:
CLASS(filename, name)(user_path) =>
	getname(user_path)
CLASS(filename_kernel, name)(string) =>
	getname_kernel(string)
CLASS(filename_flags, name)(user_path, flags) =>
	getname_flags(user_path, flags)
CLASS(filename_uflags, name)(user_path, flags) =>
	getname_uflags(user_path, flags)
CLASS(filename_maybe_null, name)(user_path, flags) =>
	getname_maybe_null(user_path, flags)
CLASS(filename_consume, name)(filename) =>
	no_free_ptr(filename)
all with putname() as destructor.

"flags" in filename_flags() is in LOOKUP_... space, only LOOKUP_EMPTY matters.
"flags" in filename_uflags() and filename_maybe_null() is in AT_...... space,
and only AT_EMPTY_PATH matters.

These conventions might be worth reconsidering...
