Thank you for your quick review.

Please find the way to access name entries like ep_file, ep_stream
without calling exfat_get_validated_dentry().

Hmm, it's a hard order.
I can't separate length/type validation and extraction.
Sorry, I have no good idea.

Ditto, You do not need to repeatedly call exfat_get_validated_dentry() for the entries
which got from exfat_get_dentry_set().

Even if I could do that, it would be very difficult to implement a checksum patch.
It is also difficult to use for rename, move, delete.
(these also have no verification of neme-length and set-checksum)

Why do you unnecessarily check entries with two loops?
Please refer to the patch I sent.

This order is possible.
However, TYPE_SECONDARY loop will be back as checksum loop.

In the next patch, I can fix the 'TYPE_SECONDARY loop' order.
do you need it?
