Please, use explicitly-sized types.

... especially for this - unlike int and short, long really is arch-dependent.
And yes, I realize that this thing is arch-specific, but...

umm... int or fmode_t?

will unlock what?

Umm...  kzalloc() looks odd, seeing that you proceed to initialize two
fields out of 3 (including the really big one) explicitly...

Bad idea, considering that strlen(path) is user-controlled and can
theoretically go up to 4Kb...

minor nit, but... that's file_inode(file)

... and what if the sucker's parent gets renamed between dentry_name() and
open_dir()?  The same goes for the rest of dentry_name() users, actually.

Aha.  No rename(2), IOW.  Is one planned?
