I almost hate to suggest this but since you are trying to add a new feature,
why don't you simply modify open() to save the filename and current directory name.
It should be easy to hide the names along with the associated file descriptors
and avoid all the trouble and ambiguity of trying to match the inode number
to the proper filename.
