'%pd'(no digit following) will mean to print last 4 components of file
dentry. Hence explicitly use %pd1 instead.

Hmm... Okay.

Sorry, but from above I didn't get why.

The commit message tells only about %pD, but patch changes behaviour
of the ~100 or so users of "%pd" without any explanation.

Besides that the patch is prepended only by one change (which is also
not related to %pD), while we have ~30 users which behaviour got
changed.

Thanks for the link. I see that it was not clear whether the patch
was good for %pd behavior.

Linus actually suggests to keep %pd behavior as it was before, see
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAHk-=wimsMqGdzik187YWLb-ru+iktb4MYbMQG1rnZ81dXYFVg@mail.gmail.com/

Well, I think that this is up to the file system developers to decide.
I am not sure if the path would do more harm than good,
or vice versa, for dentry names.

Best Regards,
Petr

Okay, let me keep the default %pd behavior as before('%pd' is '%pd1') and
change the behavior of %pD ('%pD' is '%pD4')
