I try to keep dereferences out of the calling path as much as possible
(adds to I$ at the call site).

Could you just pass in file, and then have:

	__string(filename, file->f_path.dentry->d_iname)

	[..]

	__assign_string(filename, file->f_path.dentry->d_iname);


If you are paranoid, you can have the above also be:

			file ? file->f_path.dentry ? file->f_path.dentry->d_iname : "(null)" : "(null)")
