This will allow generating fsnotify delete events after the
fsnotify_nameremove() hook is removed from d_delete().

What happened to this call?  Why no unlinking anymore?

Can't dentry be gone here?  This doesn't seem to match the same pattern
as before.

What am I missing?

The grammatical change __debugfs_remove_file() => __debugfs_file_removed()
After change, the helper only does the post delete stuff.
simple_unlink() is now done inside simple_remove().
This debugfs patch depends on a patch that adds the simple_remove() helper.
sorry for not mentioning this explicitly.

Thanks,
Amir.

Right. But Greg is right that simple_remove() may have dropped last dentry
reference and thus you now pass freed dentry to d_is_reg() and
__debugfs_file_removed()?

It seem so. Good spotting!

Yes, that's what I was trying to say.  I don't think this conversion is
correct, so you might either have to rework your simple_rmdir(), or this
patch, to make it work properly.

To fix the correctness issue we will keep dget(dentry)/dput(dentry)
in place both in __debugfs_remove() and in simple_remove(), i.e:

               dget(dentry);
               ret = simple_remove(d_inode(parent), dentry);
               if (d_is_reg(dentry))
                       __debugfs_file_removed(dentry);
               dput(dentry);

Will this have addressed your concern?

BTW, I forwarded you the dependency patch that is needed for the
context of this review.

Thanks,
Amir.

Shouldn't you check for !d_is_reg before calling simple_remove()?

I had dug it out of the original series when I reviewed this :)

Current code does simple_unlink() or simple_rmdir() for !d_is_reg
and simple_unlink() + stuff for d_is_reg.

New helper does simple_unlink() or simple_rmdir() as appropriate
for all cases, so all we are left is with + stuff only for d_is_reg.

But anyway, Al is calling this patch set off.

So will continue this discussion on another thread some other time.

Thanks,
Amir.
