Thank you for your understanding.

I actually implemented and use it, but I feel it is not so good.
- Since there are two functions to get from es, so it's a bit confusing which one is better for use.
- There was the same anxiety as using exfat_get_validated_dentry() in that there is no NULL check of
ep got with exfat_get_dentry_cached().

Whichever function I use, there are places where I check the return value and where I don't.
This will cause missing entry-type validation or missing return value check,in the future.
I think it's easier to use by including it as a validated object in the member of exfat_entry_set_cache.

> And then, You can rename ep and ep2 to ep_file and ep_stream.

I propose a slightly different approach than last.
Add members to exfat_entry_set_cache as below.
struct exfat_de_file *de_file;
struct exfat_de_stream *de_stream;
And, use these as below.
es->de_file->attr = cpu_to_le16(exfat_make_attr(inode));
es->de_stream->valid_size = cpu_to_le64(on_disk_size);

exfat_de_file/exfat_de_stream corresponds to the file dir-entry/stream dir-enty structure in the exfat_dentry union.
We can use the validated valid values ​​directly.
Furthermore, these are strongly typed.

Thanks a lot.
For now, I will create and post a V3 patch with this proposal.
After that, I will recreate the NameLength check and a checksum validation patches based on the V3 patch and post them.
(Should I post these as an RFC?)
