------------------------------------------------------ From: Illia Ostapyshyn illia@yshyn.com Subject: scripts: gdb: vfs: support external dentry names Date: Sun, 29 Jun 2025 02:38:11 +0200
d_shortname of struct dentry only reserves D_NAME_INLINE_LEN characters and contains garbage for longer names. Use d_name instead, which always references the valid name.
