Yes, it depends on which error we are talking about. For ENOMEM and
whatever error fscrypt_fname_disk_to_usr returns, we surely want to send
that back, such that f2fs can handle it (i.e abort the lookup). Unicode
casefolding errors don't need to stop the lookup.

We can have a common handler. It doesn't matter for Ext4 because it
ignores all errors. Perhaps ext4 can be improved too in a different
patchset.

Yes, that is it. print the error message - only in strict mode - and
return not-a-match.
Is there any problem with this approach that I'm missing?

No, utf8_strncasecmp_folded requires a casefolded name. Eric's point is
that the *memcmp* should always compare against name->name since it's more
likely to match the name on disk than the folded version because the user
is probably doing a case-exact lookup.
This also means the memcmp can be moved outside the "if (folded_name->name)",
simplifying the patch!
