Why This File Exists

Core operating-system implementation surface: boot, tasks, memory, VFS, syscall-facing interfaces, synchronization, credentials, and isolation.

Annotated Snippet

struct file_operations;

#ifdef CONFIG_TRACING

struct eventfs_file;

/**
 * eventfs_callback - A callback function to create dynamic files in eventfs
 * @name: The name of the file that is to be created
 * @mode: return the file mode for the file (RW access, etc)
 * @data: data to pass to the created file ops
 * @fops: the file operations of the created file
 *
 * The eventfs files are dynamically created. The struct eventfs_entry array
 * is passed to eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() that will
 * be used to create the files within those directories. When a lookup
 * or access to a file within the directory is made, the struct eventfs_entry
 * array is used to find a callback() with the matching name that is being
 * referenced (for lookups, the entire array is iterated and each callback
 * will be called).
 *
 * The callback will be called with @name for the name of the file to create.
 * The callback can return less than 1 to indicate  that no file should be
 * created.
 *
 * If a file is to be created, then @mode should be populated with the file
 * mode (permissions) for which the file is created for. This would be
 * used to set the created inode i_mode field.
 *
 * The @data should be set to the data passed to the other file operations
 * (read, write, etc). Note, @data will also point to the data passed in
 * to eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir(), but the callback
 * can replace the data if it chooses to. Otherwise, the original data
 * will be used for the file operation functions.
 *
 * The @fops should be set to the file operations that will be used to create
 * the inode.
 *
 * NB. This callback is called while holding internal locks of the eventfs
 *     system. The callback must not call any code that might also call into
 *     the tracefs or eventfs system or it will risk creating a deadlock.
