As per my knowledge in vfs layer file is either accessed by pathname or
file structure pointer. In file struct you have both dentry of the file
and vfsmount. When a file is accessed by a name first path look up
happens and its nameidata is created which holds both dentry and
vfsmount. In may function calls only dentry is passed as an argument.
Now I want the path name of the file (forget what I want, as term
pathname is not clear between us). For some reason, I need vfsmount of
the file as well.
