Subject: [PATCH 1/2] debugfs: Remove redundant access mode checks
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2025 10:26:32 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251120102222.18371-2-dev@null.aaront.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251120102222.18371-1-dev@null.aaront.org>

debugfs_get_tree() can only be called if debugfs itself calls
simple_pin_fs() or register_filesystem(), and those call paths also
check the access mode.

debugfs_start_creating() checks the access mode so the checks in the
debugfs_create_* functions are unnecessary.

An upcoming change will affect debugfs_allow, so doing this cleanup
first will make that change simpler.
