those are qstr's, so I used d_name.name, right ? > so that we actually see where it is. I'm assuming it's some sysfs oddity > again.. I'd be surprised actually, I've got sysfs excluded from its list of victim files, due to unrelated issues still unresolved. So unless it followed a symlink into sys from somewhere in /proc or /dev... It took a few hours to reproduce last time, I'll increase the number of child processes to see if I can trigger it faster now that I have the debug stuff in there.
