The pathname/filename is being used in the measurement list and for audit logging. It's currently using d_absolute_path() to get the full pathname, but falls back to using the dentry->d_name.name on failure. Ok, so instead of returning the dentry->d_name.name, we should make a copy it, assuming the error isn't memory related.
