Please describe what the functional impact is in the commit message. I
don't understand what 'make the file operation struct "reset" aware of
the file's lifetime' means here.

For referencing LKML posts, please prefer https://lore.kernel.org/.

For referencing commits already in the kernel, please prefer the format
c64688081490 ("debugfs: add support for self-protecting attribute file
fops").


BR,
Jani.
