[PATCH 3/3] f2fs: Prevent dangling dentries on casefold directories

From: André Almeida
Date: Sun Mar 28 2021 - 10:59:24 EST


Before making a folder a case-insensitive one, this folder could have
been used before and created some negative dentries (given that the
folder needs to be empty before making it case-insensitive, all detries
there are negative ones). During a new file creation, if a d_hash()
collision happens and the name matches a negative dentry, the new file
might have a name different than the specified by user.

To prevent this from happening, remove all negative dentries in a
directory before making it a case-folded one.

Fixes: 2c2eb7a300cd ("f2fs: Support case-insensitive file name lookups")
