[PATCH v12 00/10] ref_tracker: add ability to register a debugfs file for a ref_tracker_dir

[Jeff Layton]

Sorry for the reposting, but this makes things easier with automated CI.

This posting just drops the pr_warn() calls from the new functions. We
were still seeing some warnings during (expected) times that debugfs
file creation would fail. debugfs already throws warnings when these
things fail unexpectedly, so these warnings are unwanted when dentry
creation fails before debugfs is up.

Changes in v11:
- don't call ref_tracker_dir_init() more than once for same i915 objects
- use %llx in format for net_cookie in symlink name
- Link to v10: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250527-reftrack-dbgfs-v10-0-dc55f7705691@kernel.org

Changes in v10:

Changes in v9:
- fix typo in ref_tracker_dir_init() kerneldoc header
- Link to v8: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250507-reftrack-dbgfs-v8-0-607717d3bb98@kernel.org

Changes in v8:
- fix up compiler warnings that the KTR warned about
- ensure builds with CONFIG_DEBUG_FS=n and CONFIG_REF_TRACKER=y work
- Link to v7: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250505-reftrack-dbgfs-v7-0-f78c5d97bcca@kernel.org

Changes in v7:
- include net->net_cookie in netns symlink name
- add __ostream_printf to ref_tracker_dir_symlink() stub function
- remove unneeded #include of seq_file.h
- Link to v6: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250430-reftrack-dbgfs-v6-0-867c29aff03a@kernel.org

Changes in v6:
- clean up kerneldoc comment for ref_tracker_dir_debugfs()
- add missing stub function for ref_tracker_dir_symlink()
- temporary __maybe_unused on ref_tracker_dir_seq_print() to silence compiler warning
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250428-reftrack-dbgfs-v5-0-1cbbdf2038bd@kernel.org

Changes in v5:
- add class string to each ref_tracker_dir
- auto-register debugfs file for every tracker in ref_tracker_dir_init
- add function to allow adding a symlink for each tracker
- add patches to create symlinks for netns's and i915 entries
- change output format to print class@%p instead of name@%p

Changes in v4:
- Drop patch to widen ref_tracker_dir_.name, use NAME_MAX+1 (256) instead since this only affects dentry name
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250417-reftrack-dbgfs-v3-0-c3159428c8fb@kernel.org

Changes in v3:
- don't overwrite dir->name in ref_tracker_dir_debugfs
- define REF_TRACKER_NAMESZ and use it when setting name
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250415-reftrack-dbgfs-v2-0-b18c4abd122f@kernel.org

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@kernel.org
