[RESEND PATCH v9] ext4: Log error when lookup of encoded dentry fails

From: Eugen Hristev
Date: Thu Feb 08 2024 - 03:35:39 EST


From: Gabriel Krisman Bertazi <krisman@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

If the volume is in strict mode, ext4_ci_compare can report a broken
encoding name. This will not trigger on a bad lookup, which is caught
earlier, only if the actual disk name is bad.

Hello,

I am trying to respin the series here :
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-ext4/msg85081.html

To make it easier to apply I split it into smaller chunks which address
one single thing.

This patch simply adds an error message in the UNICODE path.
