Eventfs uses simple_lookup(), however, it will fail if the name of the entry is beyond NAME_MAX length. When this error is encountered, eventfs still tries to create dentries instead of skipping the dentry creation. When the dentry is attempted to be created in this state d_wait_lookup() will loop forever, waiting for the lookup to be removed.
Fix eventfs to return the error in simple_lookup() back to the caller instead of continuing to try to create the dentry.
Fixes: 63940449555e ("eventfs: Implement eventfs lookup, read, open functions") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-trace-kernel/20231208183601.GA46-beaub@linux.microsoft.com/ Signed-off-by: Beau Belgrave <beaub@linux.microsoft.com> --- Please note the fixes tag is the first add of simple_lookup logic, there have been other changes beyond that may be a better fit to targetting.
