Date: Mon, 28 Dec 2015 12:27:22 -0800 From: Rajat Jain <rajatxjain@...il.com> To: "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, linux-newbie@...r.kernel.org Cc: Greg Kroah-Hartman <greg@...ah.com> Subject: debugfs_remove_recursive() while a file is in use by userspace Hi, I wanted to understand the behavior taken when a module calls debugfs_remove_recursive() on a directory, while files under that directory may still be in use by the userspace (for instance an ongoing read / write operation). Does the function wait (1) until all the currently executing file operation methods (read/write/map etc) have returned? OR (2) until the user has given up all references (descriptors) to the files under the directory (i.e. until release() method has been called)?
