uh..

fs/namei.c:2342:3: warning: passing argument 1 of ‘d_absolute_path’ from 
incompatible pointer type [enabled by default]
   d_absolute_path(p1, path, 4096);
   ^
In file included from include/linux/fs.h:8:0,
                 from fs/namei.c:21:
include/linux/dcache.h:337:14: note: expected ‘const struct path *’ but 
argument is of type ‘struct dentry *’
 extern char *d_absolute_path(const struct path *, char *, int);
              ^


How do I go from the dentry in p1 to the path d_absolute_path expects ?
