Re: [PATCH -V18 05/13] vfs: Support null pathname in readlink

[Christoph Hellwig]

Changing the interfaces of existing system calls to accept a NULL name
which previously wasn't acceptable is not valid.  Even for new system
calls I think it's a bad idea.  utimensat already has the most ugly
code of all fs related system calls because of that.
