What I certainly don't want to do is to have to cross-reference IDs with arrays, nor start to stack endless if/else that are even more painful to deal with, or have to renumber everything by hand once in a while.
Noted.
But again, I'm open to better proposals. I reached the limits of my imagination there, but I do value the ability to "yyp" one line, change two arguments and gain one extra test for a different combination, and I really do not want to lose that simplicity. Note that for more complex tests, it's trivial to add a dedicated function and that's what was done for getdents64() which also serves as an example.
OK, I understand the reason behind this now. I and Fernanda will try to visit this again at around 5.20-rc. *If* we can find a better design that matches your requirements, we will send you an RFC to improve it too.
Thank you!
