hi all,
 so far i understand the question was how to:

entry = create_proc_entry("alexey", 0644, NULL);
if (!entry) {
		printk(KERN_ERR "foo: create_proc_entry >%s< failed\n",realpath);
	}


KERN_ERR "foo: create_proc_entry  >/proc/maintainers/janitor/alexey< failed

in very nested configurations (that you should not have) there may be more than
one alexey. and you end up with a knowledge that one of them failed.
something like getcwd() would be helpful.
