From 6c2d4798a8d16cf4f3a28c3cd4af4f1dcbbb4d04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2019 01:21:58 -0400 Subject: new helper: lookup_positive_unlocked() Most of the callers of lookup_one_len_unlocked() treat negatives are ERR_PTR(-ENOENT). Provide a helper that would do just that. Note that a pinned positive dentry remains positive - it's ->d_inode is stable, etc.; a pinned _negative_ dentry can become positive at any point as long as you are not holding its parent at least shared. So using lookup_one_len_unlocked() needs to be careful; lookup_positive_unlocked() is safer and that's what the callers end up open-coding anyway.
