IOW. Denys, this is up to you and _iirc_ this was already discussed
(just I don't remember the result), but perhaps

if (IS_ERR(filename)) {
if (-ENAMETOOLONG) {
...
goto retry;
}
remaining--;
*name++ = 0;
} else {
remaining = name - filename;
strcpy(name, filename);
}

Hmm. And I just noticed that 'filename = ""' case does not verify
there is a room to write a single '\0' :/

So, afaics you also need

- if (-ENAMETOOLONG)
+ if (-ENAMETOOLONG || !remaining)

or I missed something.

Oleg.
