Does this comment belong to the 1st patch?
prepend_name_with_len() is not called in this patch.

Same here. file_d_path_name() does not return bool.

Well, please mention in the commit message that %pD uses the entire
given buffer as a scratch space. It might write something behind
the trailing '\0'.

It would make sense to warn about this also in
Documentation/core-api/printk-formats.rst. It is a bit non-standard
behavior.

s/filled/field/ ?

Otherwise, it looks good to me.
