+ * generic_ci_validate_strict_name - Check if a given name is suitable

+ * This functions checks if the proposed filename is valid for the

+ * accepted for casefold directories from filesystems created with the
+ * strict encoding flag.  That also means that any name will be
+ * accepted for directories that doesn't have casefold enabled, or
+ * aren't being strict with the encoding.

+ * @dir: inode of the directory where the new file will be created
+ * @name: name of the new file
+ *
+ * Return:
+ * * True if the filename is suitable for this directory. It can be
+ * true if a given name is not suitable for a strict encoding
+ * directory, but the directory being used isn't strict
+ * * False if the filename isn't suitable for this directory. This only
+ * happens when a directory is casefolded and the filesystem is strict
+ * about its encoding.
