debugfs_file_put(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is debugfs_file_put(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and it's literally the “mark the end of file data access” girlie 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void debugfs_file_put (struct dentry *dentry );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dentry — the dentry object that was formerly passed to debugfs_file_get. yes, that exact one, no substitutions 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so picture it: there's an ongoing concurrent call into debugfs_remove or debugfs_remove_recursive, and it's blocked by a former call to debugfs_file_get. this function allows that call to proceed and return to its caller. that's the whole job. iconic, honestly ✨
