Note that in fnsotify_move() and fsnotify_link() we are guaranteed that dentry->d_name won't change during the fsnotify() evaluation (by having the parent directory locked exclusive), so we don't need to fetch dentry->d_name.name in the callers. In fsnotify_dirent() the same stability of dentry->d_name is also true, but it's a bit more convoluted - there is one callchain (devpts_pty_new() -> fsnotify_create() -> fsnotify_dirent()) where the parent is _not_ locked, but on devpts ->d_name of everything is unchanging; it has neither explicit nor implicit renames.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
