Okay, I tried container_of, but it did not work. So I tried d_obtain_alias() which worked.
But I am not sure if I have to make a call to dput() as well in order to free the dentry obtained. Anyone can confirm this?
since d_obtain_alias() calls dput when something goes wrong after allocating the dentry, I'm assuming that you also have to call dput to free the dentry. Philipp
