It would be better to use the dedicated slab to store path.

How about:

buf = f2fs_kmem_cache_alloc(names_cachep, GFP_KERNEL, NULL, F2FS_I_SB(inode));

This looks like a hack using names_cachep?

names_cachep was exported in fs.h.

I think that's for __getname() in general, which doesn't indicate you can hack.
No one is using like that.

Using f2fs_kmem_cache_alloc is able to inject malloc error.
But here is a trace event, is it ok to inject error in a trace path?

Yes, the fail path handling is very simple, so it's fine to leave it
as it is.

What is this for?

Oh, I mean I'm okay w/ original patch, because f2fs_trace_rw_file_path()
doesn't have complicated error handling.



If we want to keep the error injection, how about this?

Both original patch or below patch w/ fault injection is fine to me.

Free feel to add rvb tag of me. :)
