Re: [PATCH v5 0/4] make '%pD' print the full path of file

Background
==========
Linus suggested printing the full path of file instead of printing
the components as '%pd'.

Typically, there is no need for printk specifiers to take any real locks
(ie mount_lock or rename_lock). So I introduce a new helper d_path_fast
which is similar to d_path except it doesn't take any seqlock/spinlock.

This series is based on Al Viro's d_path cleanup patches [1] which
lifted the inner lockless loop into a new helper.

Test
====
The cases I tested:
1. print '%pD' with full path of ext4 file
2. mount a ext4 filesystem upon a ext4 filesystem, and print the file
   with '%pD'
3. all test_print selftests, including the new '%14pD' '%-14pD'

4. kasnprintf

I believe you are talking about kasprintf().

Changelog
=========
v5:
- remove the RFC tag

JFYI, when we drop RFC we usually start the series from v1.

- refine the commit msg/comments(by Petr, Andy)
- make using_scratch_space a new parameter of the test case 

Thanks for the update, I have found few minor things, please address them and
feel free to add

v4:
- don't support spec.precision anymore for '%pD'
- add Rasmus's patch into this series
 
v3:
- implement new d_path_unsafe to use [buf, end] instead of stack space for
  filling bytes (by Matthew)
- add new test cases for '%pD'
- drop patch "hmcdrv: remove the redundant directory path" before removing rfc.

v2: 
- implement new d_path_fast based on Al Viro's patches
- add check_pointer check (by Petr)
- change the max full path size to 256 in stack space
