So, you shouldn't be relying on debugfs :)

I don't really understand what the problem is here.  Is selinux
preventing some debugfs files to be created?  If so, great, it's allowed
to do that, go fix up your selinux config files to not do that.
Otherwise, to go around selinux/LSM seems like a bad idea for debugfs to
be doing, don't you think?

thanks,
