There is no elucidating comment in the header for this particular field and the name/type only indicate it is pointing to a list of vfsmounts. Can a dentry belong to more than one vfsmount? If I have a 'dentry' and simply want to determine what the absolute path from root is, in the 'd_path' macro, would I use 'rootmnt' of my current->fs as the 'vfsmount' as well?
