Simple patch that changes the return value of kernfs_name_locked and kernfs_name to size_t which alignes these functions with kernfs_path_len which also returns size_t.
Patch was made against for-4.5 branch of Tejun's cgroup tree. (As per Tejun's request, ccing gre...@linuxfoundation.org and linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org.) Changelog 20150210: - Change return type of kernfs_name in kernfs.h as well. - Build tested against Tejun's for-4.5 tree, 4.5-rc2 and mainline 4.5-rc3. *Note*, the changes in kernfs.h change the dummy return value of the static inline definition of kernfs_name from -ENOSYS. I changed it to 0 analogous to kernfs_path_len. I don't know if this is considered a deal-breaker.
