Duh, yes. I wasn't zero padding, so that's 006b6b6b.

Here's another run, with something similar in path->dentry..

[  100.729395] parent->dname.name  (06 b6 b6b 6b6b6b6b 6b6b6b6b 6b6b6b6b)
[  100.729397] path->dentry: 6d6e740 6b6b6b6b
[  100.729401] nd->last.name = (\xffffffd2.W._.N.".\xfffffffe.\xffffff80.^N.?.\xffffffe4.E.8.g.\xffffffd2.N.\xffffffb6.^G.\xfffffff1.\xffffffcc.U.\xffffffda.^_.h.^M.1.\xffffffc5.\xffffff82.%.B.\xffffffe0.\xffffffad.^U.8.^L.c.Z.^K.\xffffffe4.h.J.\xffffffc8.\xffffffad.\xffffff83./.\xffffff80.\xffffffd1.\xffffffe5.\xffffff87.\xffffffc3.\xffffffb2.\xffffffdc.\xffffff9d.\xffffffd1.E.\xffffffab.^B.
