Merge tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs
Pull vfs directory lookup updates from Christian Brauner:
"This contains cleanups for the lookup_one*() family of helpers.
We expose a set of functions with names containing "lookup_one_len"
and others without the "_len". This difference has nothing to do with
"len". It's rater a historical accident that can be confusing.
The functions without "_len" take a "mnt_idmap" pointer. This is found
in the "vfsmount" and that is an important question when choosing
which to use: do you have a vfsmount, or are you "inside" the
filesystem. A related question is "is permission checking relevant
here?".
nfsd and cachefiles *do* have a vfsmount but *don't* use the non-_len
functions. They pass nop_mnt_idmap and refuse to work on filesystems
which have any other idmap.
This work changes nfsd and cachefile to use the lookup_one family of
functions and to explictily pass &nop_mnt_idmap which is consistent
with all other vfs interfaces used where &nop_mnt_idmap is explicitly
passed.
The remaining uses of the "_one" functions do not require permission
checks so these are renamed to be "_noperm" and the permission
checking is removed.
This series also changes these lookup function to take a qstr instead
of separate name and len. In many cases this simplifies the call"
* tag 'vfs-6.16-rc1.async.dir' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vfs/vfs:
VFS: change lookup_one_common and lookup_noperm_common to take a qstr
Use try_lookup_noperm() instead of d_hash_and_lookup() outside of VFS
VFS: rename lookup_one_len family to lookup_noperm and remove permission check
cachefiles: Use lookup_one() rather than lookup_one_len()
nfsd: Use lookup_one() rather than lookup_one_len()
VFS: improve interface for lookup_one functions
