When I add you patch to task_dentry_path(), it does get farther, but then I get a read fault. I'll have to dig deeper.The patch is probably wrong, and I hope that someone more knowledgeable than me may come up with a better one. However, if I look at the comment about task_dentry_path in https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=systemtap.git;a=blob;f=tapset/linux/dentry.stp it seems to me that is based on the kernel's d_path(). And the comment in the top of http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/fs/dcache.c#L3052 says something about "synthetic filesystems", and just maybe this is doing something to overcome the problem.Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the pointer.I went ahead and filed PR16991 (infinite loop in task_dentry_path) on this issue, you should be CC'ed on it.I hope that you will be able to find a more generic solution than my lame patch!Your patch isn't lame, I'm just not sure it is quite correct. I've spend a couple of days trying to figure out what is going on here and the best way to fix it. I may end up using your patch yet. Hopefully I'll have something for you to try soon.
I am happy to confirm that commit 979929ed + 6478c9d2 fixes the issue in my use-case: http://kaarpux.kaarposoft.dk/dependency_tracking.html Thank you !!!! /Henrik
