Subject: [PATCH v2 0/3] debugfs: make debugfs_create_str() read-only
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 16:48:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806084854.1019789-1-chenyichong@uniontech.com> (raw)
debugfs_create_str() currently supports writable files through a generic
string replacement helper. Concurrent writers can race in that helper.
Instead of adding more locking to the generic debugfs string code, convert
the existing writable in-tree users to local file operations first, then make
debugfs_create_str() read-only and refuse modes with write permission bits.
Changes since v1:
- Follow Greg's suggestion to avoid adding locking to the generic
debugfs_create_str() write path.
- Convert the existing writable in-tree users to local file operations.
- Make debugfs_create_str() read-only and refuse writable modes.
- Split the change into a 3-patch series.
