[PATCH v2 0/8] ref_tracker: add ability to register a debugfs file for a ref_tracker_dir

From: Jeff Layton
Date: Tue Apr 15 2025 - 14:50:55 EST


I had previously sent some patches to add debugfs files for the net
namespace refcount trackers, but Andrew convinced me to make this more
generic and better-integrated into the ref_tracker infrastructure.

This adds a new ref_tracker_dir_debugfs() call that subsystems can call
to finalize the name of their dir and register a debugfs file for it.
The last two patches add these calls for the netns and netdev
ref_trackers.

Changes in v2:
- Add patch to do %pK -> %p conversion in ref_tracker.c
- Pass in output function to pr_ostream() instead of if statement
- Widen ref_tracker_dir.name to 64 bytes to accomodate unique names
- Eliminate error handling with debugfs manipulation
- Incorporate pointer value into netdev name
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250414-reftrack-dbgfs-v1-0-f03585832203@xxxxxxxxxx
