Just realized that s/0444/0644/ might be an even more minimalist change since you anyways,
I think, need to be root for error injection through einj. Does that sound good?

In any case, using 0666 will result in the below checkpatch warning:

[root avadnaik-linux]# ./scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict -g HEAD
WARNING: Exporting world writable files is usually an error. Consider more restrictive permissions.
#84: FILE: fs/debugfs/file.c:1063:
+       return debugfs_create_file_unsafe(name, mode & 0666, parent, blob, &fops_blob);

total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 54 lines checked

Would you be okay with s/0444/0644/?

-       return debugfs_create_file_unsafe(name, mode & 0444, parent, blob, &fops_blob);
+       return debugfs_create_file_unsafe(name, mode & 0644, parent, blob, &fops_blob);
