No need to mess with the boilerplate for obtaining what we already have. Note that ceph is one of the "will want a path from filesystem root if we want to talk to server" cases, so the name of the last component is of little use - it is passed to fscrypt_d_revalidate() and it's used to deal with (also crypt-related) case in request marshalling, when encrypted name turns out to be too long. The former is not a problem, but the latter is racy; that part will be handled in the next commit.

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 reStructuredText 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.
