Well, I don't know whether case conversion of Unicode or UTF-8 strings
is needed anywhere in the kernel. I don't propose to add routines to
handle it in the upcoming library. If you want to add them, you are
welcome to do so -- assuming you can avoid provoking loud

You can't, because it isn't written down -- it exists mostly in my
head. However I did make up a list of source

A first step would be to centralize the various implementations. Then

Case conversion is another one of those conceptual bugs. It's not
even a meaningful

Go ahead and test it as is. It ought to work well enough, and if
there's something terribly wrong I'd like to know sooner rather than
later.

It turns out that fs/nls/nls_base.c already includes conversion
routines such as utf8_wcstombs(). Unforunately they are not an ideal
match to what we want for several reasons:
They work with wchar_t, typedef'd as __u16 in
include/linux/nls.h. Hence they expect to see

Or even UTF-7 ... ? FWIW the input isn't UCS-16; it's UTF16-LE.
