Subject: why do we need utf8 normalization when compare name?
Date: Mon, 2 Mar 2020 17:00:24 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAB3eZfv4VSj6_XBBdHK12iX_RakhvXnTCFAmQfwogR34uySo3Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

According to case insensitive since kernel 5.2, d_compare will
transform string into normalized form and then compare.

But why do we need this normalization function? Could we just compare
by utf8 string?
