27  * eventfs_callback - A callback function to create dynamic files in eventfs
28  * @name: The name of the file that is to be created
29  * @mode: return the file mode for the file (RW access, etc)
30  * @data: data to pass to the created file ops
31  * @fops: the file operations of the created file
32  *
33  * The evetnfs files are dynamically created. The struct eventfs_entry array
34  * is passed to eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() that will
35  * be used to create the files within those directories. When a lookup
36  * or access to a file within the directory is made, the struct eventfs_entry
37  * array is used to find a callback() with the matching name that is being
38  * referenced (for lookups, the entire array is iterated and each callback
39  * will be called).
40  *
41  * The callback will be called with @name for the name of the file to create.
42  * The callback can return less than 1 to indicate  that no file should be
43  * created.
44  *
45  * If a file is to be created, then @mode should be populated with the file
46  * mode (permissions) for which the file is created for. This would be
47  * used to set the created inode i_mode field.
48  *
49  * The @data should be set to the data passed to the other file operations
50  * (read, write, etc). Note, @data will also point to the data passed in
51  * to eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir(), but the callback
52  * can replace the data if it chooses to. Otherwise, the original data
53  * will be used for the file operation functions.
54  *
55  * The @fops should be set to the file operations that will be used to create
56  * the inode.
57  *
58  * NB. This callback is called while holding internal locks of the eventfs
59  *     system. The callback must not call any code that might also call into
60  *     the tracefs or eventfs system or it will risk creating a deadlock.
