or even simpler

char*
full_d_path( struct dentry *dentry,
	     struct vfsmount *vfsmnt,
	     char *buf, int buflen ) {
  char *res;
  struct vfsmount *rootmnt;
  struct dentry *root;
  struct namespace *ns;

  ns=current->namespace;
/*   get_namespace( ns ); */
  rootmnt=mntget( ns->root );
/*   put_namespace( ns ); */

  root = dget(rootmnt->mnt_root);

  spin_lock(&dcache_lock);
  res = __d_path(dentry, vfsmnt, root, rootmnt, buf, buflen);
  spin_unlock(&dcache_lock);

  dput(root);
  mntput(rootmnt);
  return res;
}
