Me either. I don't like backporting.

If you mean
- you replaced __getname_gfp(GFP_NOFS) by __get_free_page(GFP_NOFS)
- but you didn't replace __putname() by free_page()
then it is a problem.
I'd suggest you to
- replace __getname_gfp(GFP_NOFS) by kmem_cache_alloc(names_cachep, GFP_NOFS)
- and leave __putname() as it is
