[PATCH next 0/3] debugfs: introduce debugfs_create_single/seq[,_data]

[Kefeng Wang]

Like proc_create_single/seq[,_data] in procfs, we could provide similar debugfs
helper to reduce losts of boilerplate code.

debugfs_create_single[,_data]
  creates a file in debugfs with the extra data and a seq_file show callback.
debugfs_create_seq[,_data]
  creates a file in debugfs with the extra data and a seq_operations.

There is a object dynamically allocated in the helper, which is used to store
extra data, we need free it when remove the debugfs file.

If the change is acceptable, we could change the caller one by one.

  debugfs: Provide debugfs_[set|clear|test]_lowest_bit()
  debugfs: introduce debugfs_create_single[,_data]
  debugfs: introduce debugfs_create_seq[,_data]

[PATCH next 1/3] debugfs: Provide debugfs_[set|clear|test]_lowest_bit()

[Kefeng Wang]

Provide debugfs_[set|clear|test]_lowest_bit() helper, which
could test, set and clear the lowest bit of a pointer, and
will be used in the subsequent patches.

[PATCH next 2/3] debugfs: introduce debugfs_create_single[,_data]

[Kefeng Wang]

Like proc_create_single[,_data] in procfs, introduce a similar
debugfs_create_single[,_data] function, which could drastically
reduces the boilerplate code.

Rename debugfs_devm_entry to debugfs_entry, and reuse debugfs_entry_ops
code. The struct debugfs_entry instance is dynamically allocated
and taken as data in debugfs_create_single_data, which need to be
freed when calling debugfs_remove, using lowest bit of inode->i_private
to distinguish it.

I would like to see a user of this and how you would convert it, in
order to see if this is worth it or not.

When you redo this series, can you add that to the end of it?

If you notice, I have been removing the return value of the
debugfs_create_* functions over the past few kernel versions (look at
5.5-rc1 for a lot more).  Please don't add any new functions that also
return a dentry that I then need to go and remove.

Just have these be void functions, no need to return anything.

Hi Greg, see function debugfs_create_seq_data()and debugfs_create_single_data(),
they are wrapper function of debugfs_create_file(), when remove the debugfs file
called debugfs_remove(), some drivers could do such thing, we must return a dentry
to the caller.

Again, no, we should not return a dentry.  Files should go in
directories and then removed all at once if they need to, which is why I
have been making these types of changes.

Yes, for some existing files that does not work, but again, please do
not create a new api that does this.  Only use it for the files that do
not need their dentries saved.

Can't this file just use the normal file macro/interface for debugfs
files instead?  Hm, maybe not, it seems the celf code wants to do much
the same as above, but is seq_read() really needed for these?

There are loads of places where open-coded debugfs file ops can just be
converted to use the existing macros, maybe do that work first before
adding new ones?

I refer to DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(), sorry for not saying that here.

And if they do not work, how about creating:
	DEFINE_SEQ_ATTRIBUTE()
in much the same way for the whole kernel to use.
