Subject: [PATCH] namei: Standardize callers of filename_lookup()
Git-commit: 794ebcea865bff47231de89269e9d542121ab7be
Patch-mainline: v5.15-rc1
References: bsc#1205205

filename_lookup() has two variants, one which drops the caller's
reference to filename (filename_lookup), and one which does
not (__filename_lookup). This can be confusing as it's unusual to drop a
caller's reference. Remove filename_lookup, rename __filename_lookup
to filename_lookup, and convert all callers. The cost is a few slightly
longer functions, but the clarity is greater.

[AV: consuming a reference is not at all unusual, actually; look at
e.g. do_mkdirat(), for example.  It's more that we want non-consuming
variant for close relative of that function...]
