I like this, but some documentation will probably need to be added somwhere saying that it's now legal to create a debugfs file with "this/is/a/tree" and have it all be expanded out. And yes, cleaning up the directories shouldn't be a big issue, but what if the directory is already there and it tries to be created again? Shouldn't you do a lookup first and use that dentry if it's there? thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
