Subject: [PATCH v1 04/54] fs: fat: don't duplicate dentries when resolving differently cased paths
Date: Thu, 18 Dec 2025 11:37:24 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251218111242.1527495-5-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251218111242.1527495-1-a.fatoum@pengutronix.de>
With case insensitive file systems, like FAT, we should avoid having
multiple dentry cache entries for the same file differing only in
capitalization. Allow case-insensitive file system to set a casefold
flag that barebox will honour when comparing dentries.
That this patch works can be verified using the debug_fs_dump command,
which will show a dentry for each differently cased path in a VFAT,
but only a single dentry once this patch is applied.
