If the dentry name passed to ->d_compare() fits in dentry::d_iname, then
it may be concurrently modified by a rename. This can cause undefined
behavior (possibly out-of-bounds memory accesses or crashes) in
utf8_strncasecmp(), since fs/unicode/ isn't written to handle strings
that may be concurrently modified.
Fix this by first copying the filename to a stack buffer if needed.
This way we get a stable snapshot of the filename.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
