  I see. I don't think this is really worthwhile, please keep int there.

  Yes, but that never happens. This function should always be used for
fixed-length strings whose maximum length is defined in the standard so if
someone calls it with size == 1, it is a bug. So you can just do
BUG_ON(size < 2).

  Yes, you're right.

  Again, this should not happen because UDF_NAME_LEN is large enough but
you are right it's better to clean this.

  Just use int here..

  And here use just min() in both cases so that it's easier to read.

  Otherwise it looks fine. Thanks for the cleanups.
