->d_revalidate() series, along with ->d_iname preliminary work. One trivial conflict in fs/afs/dir.c - afs_do_lookup_one() has lost one argument in mainline and switched another from dentry to qstr in this series. Change since the previous variant: made external_name.name word-aligned and explicitly documented the layout constraints for struct external_name. The following changes since commit 40384c840ea1944d7c5a392e8975ed088ecf0b37: Linux 6.13-rc1 (2024-12-01 14:28:56 -0800) are available in the Git repository at: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs.git tags/pull-revalidate for you to fetch changes up to 30d61efe118cad1a73ad2ad66a3298e4abdf9f41: 9p: fix ->rename_sem exclusion (2025-01-27 19:25:24 -0500) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Provide stable parent and name to ->d_revalidate() instances Most of the filesystem methods where we care about dentry name and parent have their stability guaranteed by the callers; ->d_revalidate() is the major exception. It's easy enough for callers to supply stable values for expected name and expected parent of the dentry being validated. That kills quite a bit of boilerplate in ->d_revalidate() instances, along with a bunch of races where they used to access ->d_name without sufficient precautions.
