Subject: [PATCH 17/39] convert tracefs
Date: Sat, 20 Sep 2025 08:47:36 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250920074759.3564072-17-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250920074759.3564072-1-viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

A mix of persistent and non-persistent dentries in there.  Strictly
speaking, no need for kill_litter_super() anyway - it pins an internal
mount whenever a persistent dentry is created, so at fs shutdown time
there won't be any to deal with.

However, let's make it explicit - replace d_instantiate() with
d_make_persistent() + dput() (the latter in tracefs_end_creating())
for dentries we want persistent and have d_make_discardable() done
either by simple_recursive_removal() (used by tracefs_remove())
or explicitly in eventfs_remove_events_dir().
