Subject: scripts: gdb: vfs: support external dentry names
X-Git-Tag: v6.16-rc6~5^2~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e6d3e653b084f003977bf2e33820cb84d2e4541f;p=thirdparty%2Flinux.git

scripts: gdb: vfs: support external dentry names

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.
