like, it builds the whole directory tree for you, no cap. recursion is literally the main character here 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int entry_create_dir (struct aa_sfs_entry *fs_dir , struct dentry
*parent );

that's the whole vibe check — returns an int, takes two args, done 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fs_dir — the aa_sfs_entry to build, plus all its child entries too 🧚 marked NOT NULL, so do not come in here with a null bestie, i'm serious 😭
• parent — the parent dentry in the securityfs 🌈 that's where your new stuff gets attached, iykyk

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

Use entry_remove_dir to remove entries created with this fn. periodt 💀 like, this function makes dirs, that one unmakes them, they're a matched set, don't mix it up 🙈
