2020-09-11unicode: Add utf8_casefold_hashDaniel Rosenberg1-0/+3
This adds a case insensitive hash function to allow taking the hash without needing to allocate a casefolded copy of the string. The existing d_hash implementations for casefolding allocate memory within rcu-walk, by avoiding it we can be more efficient and avoid worrying about a failed allocation.

2019-06-20ext4: optimize case-insensitive lookupsGabriel Krisman Bertazi1-0/+3
Temporarily cache a casefolded version of the file name under lookup in ext4_filename, to avoid repeatedly casefolding it. I got up to 30% speedup on lookups of large directories (>100k entries), depending on the length of the string under lookup.

2019-04-25unicode: implement higher level API for string handlingGabriel Krisman Bertazi1-0/+30
This patch integrates the utf8n patches with some higher level API to perform UTF-8 string comparison, normalization and casefolding operations. Implemented is a variation of NFD, and casefold is performed by doing full casefold on top of NFD. These algorithms are based on the core implemented by Olaf Weber from SGI.
