Re: Getting debugfs mountpoint?

[Jacob Sowles]

The first instance of my code calls debugfs_create_file and stores a
pointer to the dentry of that directory. But when the second instance
calls debugfs_create_file, the function returns NULL because that
directory already exists, so it doesn't return the dentry that I need.
