Subject: [RFC PATCHv5 3/7] nvme: add generic debugfs support
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 16:03:22 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251105103347.86059-4-nilay@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251105103347.86059-1-nilay@linux.ibm.com>
Add generic infrastructure for creating and managing debugfs files in
the NVMe module. This introduces helper APIs that allow NVMe drivers to
register and unregister debugfs entries, along with a reusable attribute
structure for defining new debugfs files.
The implementation uses seq_file interfaces to safely expose per-NS and
per-NS-head statistics, while supporting both simple show callbacks and
full seq_operations.
