I don't know the larger context of this patch (and am not follwing filesystem related work in general), but at least from the xt_hashlimit point of view this of course looks fine. We can always wrap direct accesses to structure members behind an API call. For consistency reasons 'proc_get_name()' might be a better name than get_proc_name(), but that's probably a matter of taste. Pleaes note that I'm only the original author but not the active maintainer of the xt_hashlimit (formerly ipt_hashlimit) code.
