There is also a function for printing filenames: There is also a pair of functions for printing filenames:
int seq_path(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path, char *esc); int seq_path(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path, char *esc);
int seq_path_root(struct seq_file *m, struct path *path,

the path relative to the current process's filesystem root. If a different
root is desired, it can be used with seq_path_root(). Note that, if it
turns out that path cannot be reached from root, the value of root will be
changed in seq_file_root() to a root which *does* work.
