I had suggested adding a len >= 1 check to handle the empty name case correctly.
What I had in mind was
static inline bool is_dot_or_dotdot(const unsigned char *name, size_t len)
{
if (len >= 1 && unlikely(name[0] == '.')) {
if (len < 2 || (len == 2 && name[1] == '.'))
return true;
}
return false;
}
As is, you're proposing that it always dereference the first byte even when
len=0, which seems like a bad idea for a shared helper function. Did you check
whether it's okay for all the existing callers? fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr() is
called from 6 places, did you check all of them?
How about keeping the existing optimized code for the hot path in fs/namei.c
(i.e. not using the helper function), while having the helper function do the
extra check to handle len=0 correctly?
