I'm struggling to see why you need this #undef and #define.
 
 
Without those I get:

Which suggests to me that the explicit CHECK_hypfs_direntry invocation
is unneeded, as it's getting verified as part of the invocation of
CHECK_hypfs_dirlistentry.
 
 
Ah, right. This is working. Will change.

Why the exception of string and blob? My concern about the
meaning of a partially written entry (without its size having
changed) remains.
 
 
It is perfectly valid to write a shorter string into a character
array. I could drop the blob here, but in the end I think allowing
for a blob to change the size should be fine.
 
 
But shouldn't this then also adjust the recorded size?
 
 
No, this is the max size of the buffer (you can have a look at patch 9
where the size is set to the provided space for custom and string
parameters).
 
 
If I'm not mistaken it is hypfs_read_leaf() which processes read
requests for strings. Yet that copies entry->size bytes, not the
potentially smaller strlen()-bounded payload. Things would be
 
 
There is no risk of leaking problematic data here.
 
 
I didn't think of leaks, but rather of consumers looking at the
size and strlen() and getting confused about the mismatch.
 
 
I think telling the maximum possible write length is mandatory.
So either I can add a comment to the header saying that for strings
and blobs the length is the maximum value and the content is to be
self-descriptive regarding its true length (which is the case for
strings due to the terminating 0 byte), or I need two size fields:
one for the actual size and one for the maximum allowed size for
writes (this could then replace the writable flag with "0" for "not
writable").
