You're re-inventing the wheel here.  The infrastructure is there so
that you don't have to create your own.  I think you need to back up and
consider the requirements again.  E.g. exporting version should be _tiny_.

This looks like you're creating your own tree structure.  kobjects
already handle this.

these are typically done open coded...

What's the point of using down_interruptible if you can't really interrupt the
call flow?

OK, that's a serious problem.  You should not have pathnames here at
all.
