[PATCH WIP 0/2] rust: debugfs: Support attaching data to DebugFS directories

From: Matthew Maurer
Date: Fri May 02 2025 - 20:44:14 EST


We can wait to properly review and land this until after we've decided
on the final interface for the first part, but since dakr@xxxxxxxxxx was
poking at how this might work in his review of the previous patchset, I
wanted to upload this sketch as context.

The general concept here is that you select an owning directory and
attach data to it while converting its lifetime to be invariant (e.g.
can't be shortened) so that you know that the DebugFS contents will be
cleaned up before the data. You can then implement things underneath
that directory using the attached data.
