Casefolded comparisons are (obviously) way more costly than a simple memcmp. Try the case-sensitive comparison first, falling-back to the case-insensitive lookup only when needed. This allows any exact-match lookup to complete without having to walk the utf8 trie. Note that, for strict mode, generic_ci_d_compare used to reject an invalid UTF-8 string, which would now be considered valid if it exact-matches the disk-name. But, if that is the case, the filesystem is corrupt. More than that, it really doesn't matter in practice, because the name-under-lookup will have already been rejected by generic_ci_d_hash and we won't even get here. The memcmp is safe under RCU because we are operating on str/len instead of dentry->d_name directly, and the caller guarantees their consistency between each other in __d_lookup_rcu_op_compare.

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.
