Imagine this:
ln /foo/bar/baz /bar/baz/foo
sleep 2147483647 < /foo/bar/baz &
pivot_root /mnt /mnt/asd
chroot /mnt/asd/foo
What is the name you'd assign to that inode?

Sorry, didnt understand your point.
Could you please clarify?
Note that I need to retrieve the file name in Kernel Space, Im able to
get the inode, but now I need to convert this inode to a name
(something that I could use).
Thanks in advance.
Att.

A: No.
Q: Should I include quotations after my reply?

The point is that, no, it's not simple to do this at all.

How about explaining why you need to get the file name from within the
kernel? Perhaps there's a better way to do what you are trying to
accomplish.

Hi Guys.
Is there a way to map an Inode number to a File (file path and name)
in a kernel module ?
Thanks,
