I noticed that if I want to tweak debugfs file ops I need to copy the implementation of default_open() in fs/debugfs/file.c. I went to look for an exported function that would be common across all debugfs users but I couldn't find any.
This patchset moves default_open() to libfs so that other filesystems can use it (although almost 99% of users are debugfs clients). I wrote a semantic patch to find all the kernel users and ended up with a nice diff:
58 files changed, 150 insertions(+), 560 deletions(-)
I will send those patches as a follow up to these two once we settle on naming and merging strategies for the patches.
