Quite a few places want to build a struct qstr by given string; it would be convenient to have a primitive doing that, rather than open-coding it via QSTR_INIT(). The closest approximation was in bcachefs, but that expands to initializer list - {.len = strlen(string), .name = string}. It would be more useful to have it as compound literal - (struct qstr){.len = strlen(string), .name = string}. Unlike initializer list it's a valid expression. What's more, it's a valid lvalue - it's an equivalent of anonymous local variable with such initializer, so the things like path->dentry = d_alloc_pseudo(mnt->mnt_sb, &QSTR(name)); are valid. It can also be used as initializer, with identical effect - struct qstr x = (struct qstr){.name = s, .len = strlen(s)}; is equivalent to struct qstr anon_variable = {.name = s, .len = strlen(s)}; struct qstr x = anon_variable; // anon_variable is never used after that point and any even remotely sane compiler will manage to collapse that into struct qstr x = {.name = s, .len = strlen(s)}; What compound literals can't be used for is initialization of global variables, but those are covered by QSTR_INIT(). This commit lifts definition(s) of QSTR() into linux/dcache.h, converts it to compound literal (all bcachefs users are fine with that) and converts assorted open-coded instances to using that.
