I could imagine someone will write shell script like so:
ffs_active() {
test -d "$1" || return 1
set -- "$1"/ep*
test $# -gt 1
}
if ffs_active /dev/foo-ffs; then
# …
fi
With such a script, non-functional ep# files in the functionfs mount
point, could lead to some errors in user-space. I'm not saying that
this should block on any kind of changes to the way the filesystem works
when the function is inactive, but if possible, w/o a lot of additional
code, I'd rather if all the files disappeared in a zombie state.
