The helper xfs_dentry_to_name() is used by 2 different classes of callers: Callers that pass zero mode and don't care about the returned name.type field and Callers that pass non zero mode and do care about the name.type field. Change xfs_dentry_to_name() to not take the mode argument and change the call sites of the first class to not pass the mode argument. Create a new helper xfs_dentry_mode_to_name() which does pass the mode argument and returns -EFSCORRUPTED if mode is invalid. Callers that translate non zero mode to on-disk file type now check the return value and will export the error to user instead of staging an invalid file type to be written to directory entry.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
