These calling conventions st^Ware rather suboptimal. First of all,
* none of ->actor() callbacks will ever get called directly.
* there are only 4 callers. 3 of them (all in fs.h) are
of the form return ....->actor(...) == 0; The fourth is
return orig_ctx->actor(orig_ctx, name, namelen, offset, ino, d_type);
in ovl_fill_real(), which itself is an ->actor() callback.
So all these "return -E..." in the instances are completely pointless;
we should just turn filldir_t into pointer-to-function-returning-bool
and get rid of that boilerplate, rather than adding more to it.
Furthermore, who the hell cares which callback has stepped into it?
"The first time it happened from getdents(2) in a 32bit process and
that's all you'll ever get out of me" seems to be less than helpful...
And frankly, I would prefer
buf->result = check_dirent_name(name, namelen);
if (unlikely(buf->result))
return false;
making that thing return -EUCLEAN or 0. Quite possibly - inlining it
as well...
