    hi,

    for various reasons i am going to have to start on an fsproxy module.

    if i use d_path() to get the full pathname of an inode in the fsproxy
    filesystem, and then i prepend that path with the proxy prefix which
    specifies the _real_ location:

    how do i then turn that full pathname _back_ into a vfsmount and a
    dentry?

    how about.... user_path_walk() used in fs/open.c? is that it?

    *glurk*. 7 types of chaos...
