Description Mark Wielaard 2011-08-04 19:22:00 UTC 
runtime/procfs.c uses kern_path_parent(), but that is no longer exported
since:

commit e3c3d9c838d48c0341c40ea45ee087e3d8c8ea39

    unexport kern_path_parent()

Maybe we can use one of the new (exported) functions introduced in:

commit dae6ad8f37529963ae7df52baaccf056b38f210e

    new helpers: kern_path_create/user_path_create
    
    combination of kern_path_parent() and lookup_create().  Does *not*
    expose struct nameidata to caller.  Syscalls converted to that...

Fixed in commit 7f2d56c.  Now 3.1 kernels use vfs_path_lookup().
