Concerningly, the fstests test doesn't catch it. utf8_validate is defined as: int utf8_validate(const struct unicode_map *um, const struct qstr *str) Which returns 0 on success and !0 on error. Thus, when casting to bool, the return code should be negated. But generic/556 doesn't fail. That's because we are over cautious, and also check the string at the end of generic_ci_d_hash. So we never really reach utf8_validate in the tested case. But if you comment the final if in generic_ci_d_hash, you'll see this patchset regresses the fstests case generic/556 over ext4. We really need the check in both places, though. We don't want to rely on the behavior of generic_ci_d_hash to block invalid filenames, as that might change. -- Gabriel Krisman Bertazi
