If a file name contains an invalid (truncated) UTF-8 sequence, open()
does not refuse to create the file. Later readdir() returns a different
name which could not be used to access the file.
Testcase with U+1F321 (Thermometer):
$ uname -r
3.5.4-1.x86_64
$ printf $'\U0001F321' | od -A none -t x1
f0 9f 8c a1
$ touch 'file1-'$'\xf0\x9f\x8c\xa1''.ext'
$ touch 'file2-'$'\xf0\x9f\x8c''.ext'
$ touch 'file3-'$'\xf0\x9f\x8c'
$ ls -1
ls: cannot access 'file2-.?ext': No such file or directory
ls: cannot access 'file3-': No such file or directory
'file1-'$'\360\237\214\241''.ext'
file2-.?ext
file3-
Name mapping according to "fhandler_disk_file::readdir" strace lines:
"file1-\xF0\x9F\x8C\xA1.ext" -(open)-> L"file1-\xD83C\xDF21.ext"
-(readdir)->
"file1-\xF0\x9F\x8C\xA1.ext"
"file2-\xF0\x9f\x8C.ext" -(open)-> L"file2-\xD83C\xF02Eext" -(readdir)->
"file2-.\xE1\x9E\xB3ext"
"file3-\xF0\x9F\x8C" -(open)-> L"file3-\xD83C\xF000" -(readdir)->
"file3-"
Issue found because 'stress-ng --filename ...' could not cleanup its
temp directory.
