Hmm. The patch itself looks fine to me.

Acked-by: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@redhat.com>



But the code looks wrong.

What if d_path() fails with, say, ENAMETOOLONG? do_coredump() doesn't
expect an error code != ENOMEM. This is just ugly, I'll send the simple
fix. Anyway, if we are changing cn_print_exe_file(), perhaps it makes
sense to fallback if d_path fails too?

And, I am just noticed...

	for (p = path; *p; p++)
		if (*p == '/')
			*p = '!';

Why??? I am not arguing, just curious.

Oleg.
