That doesn't make any difference for current uses, but we may extend it to support debugfs for non-blk request queue in future by exporting q->id somewhere. Even though now the interested q->id can be figured out easily by very simple ebpf trace prog. > > And as you already have identified the places where we can safely create > (and remove) the debugfs directories, why can't we move the call to create > and remove the debugfs directories to those locations and do away with the > renaming? First it needs more change to fix the kernel panic. Second removing debugfs dir in del_gendisk will break blktests block/002. Finally this patch's approach is more flexible, since it provides chance to export debugfs for request queue without disk attached, such as scsi queue without disk attached, nvme admin queue, ...
