[PATCH RFC 08/13] fs/coredump: simplify the printing with '%pD' and '%pd' specifier

From: Jia He
Date: Wed Jul 14 2021 - 23:18:00 EST


After the behavior of '%pD' is changed to print the full path of file,
the printing of dentry and struct file name can be simplified.

Given the space with proper length would be allocated in vprintk_store(),
it is worthy of dropping kmalloc()/kfree() to avoid additional space
allocation.
