[PATCH 6.19 653/844] xfs: remove xfs_attr_leaf_hasname

From: Sasha Levin

Date: Sat Feb 28 2026 - 14:34:52 EST


From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 3a65ea768b8094e4699e72f9ab420eb9e0f3f568 ]

The calling convention of xfs_attr_leaf_hasname() is problematic, because
it returns a NULL buffer when xfs_attr3_leaf_read fails, a valid buffer
when xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int returns -ENOATTR or -EEXIST, and a
non-NULL buffer pointer for an already released buffer when
xfs_attr3_leaf_lookup_int fails with other error values.

Fix this by simply open coding xfs_attr_leaf_hasname in the callers, so
that the buffer release code is done by each caller of
xfs_attr3_leaf_read.
