I think the issue might be that the directory will be created even if no attributes are present in it due to the is_visable() check not returning any valid files? If so, I had a patch somewhere around here where I was trying to fix that up: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git/commit/?h=debugfs_cleanup&id=f670945dfbaf353fe068544c31e3fa45575da5b5 but it didn't seem to work properly and kept crashing. I didn't spend much time on looking into it, but if this is an issue, I can work on fixing this properly. thanks, greg k-h
