Hi,
I happened to come across this discussion. I am having a similar issue. I am using Rhel7-3.10.0-123 kernel. I tried all the options that are mentioned above and none of the api's including kern_path() return valid dentry value. My requirement is to fetch directory name from filepath.
Why do you need a directory name from a filepath within the kernel? What problem are you trying to solve that you feel a directory name is the correct solution? And remember, namespaces, what does a "directory name" really mean... :) thanks, greg k-h
