[PATCH 2/2] scripts/gdb: Add GDB convenience functions $lx_dentry_name() and $lx_i_dentry()

From: Glenn Washburn
Date: Tue Feb 28 2023 - 19:54:33 EST


$lx_dentry_name() generates a full VFS path from a given dentry pointer,
and $lx_i_dentry() returns the dentry pointer associated with the given
inode pointer, if there is one.
