What's the difference between this new patch and the one that is already 
awaiting application here : 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/patch/20211222090655.484551-1-deng.changcheng@zte.com.cn/ 
?

The only difference I see it that the already existing patch has a more 
complete description of the change, so unless I'm missing something it 
would be nice to avoid sending the same changes again and again.

Thanks
Christophe

Both patches switch the code to use a function called "unsafe" without
adequately explaining why that is OK.

The commit that added the cocci check script says:

  If the original struct file_operations are known to be safe against removal
  races by themselves already, the proxy creation may be bypassed by creating
  the files through debugfs_create_file_unsafe().

None of these conversion patches ever contain any explanation which
speaks to that.

In this case I *think* the change is OK and there is no race because the
debugfs file is never removed. But I really wish the submitter would
tell me that in the change log.

cheers
