This helper is similar to d_path except that it doesn't take any

an additional return value *prenpend_len* is used to get the full
path length of the dentry.

prepend_name_with_len() enhances the behavior of prepend_name().
Previously it will skip the loop at once in __prepen_path() when the
space is not enough. __prepend_path() gets the full length of dentry
together with the parent recusively.
recursively
Besides, if someone invokes snprintf with small but positive space,
prepend_name_with() needs to move and copy the string partially.

More than that, kasnprintf will pass NULL _buf_ and _end_, hence
kasprintf()

it returns at the very beginning with false in this case;

I'm wondering why can't memcpy() be used here as well.
