I tested it with a debugging patch as follows:
diff --git a/fs/d_path.c b/fs/d_path.c
index aea254ac9e1f..8eecd04be7bb 100644
--- a/fs/d_path.c
+++ b/fs/d_path.c
@@ -210,6 +210,7 @@ static int prepend_path(const struct path *path,
b = *p;
read_seqbegin_or_lock(&rename_lock, &seq);
error = __prepend_path(path->dentry, real_mount(path->mnt), root, &b);
+ printk("prepend=%d",error);
if (!(seq & 1))
rcu_read_unlock();
if (need_seqretry(&rename_lock, seq)) {
Then the result seems a little different:
root@entos-ampere-02:~# dmesg |grep prepend=1 |wc -l
7417
root@entos-ampere-02:~# dmesg |grep prepend=0 |wc -l
772
The kernel is 5.13.0-rc2+ + this series + my '%pD' series

Any thoughts?
