Oh, I see. That looks like some old, out of date version of the docs. The text was already correct in 5.15, it seems: https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.15/source/fs/debugfs/inode.c#L549 Also this render of the docs is correct: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/api-summary.html#c.debugfs_create_dir I don't really know who's responsible for the kernel.org docs... Let's CC Jon. Jon, is the www.kernel.org/doc/htmldocs/ copy intentionally what it is? Anyone we should talk to?
