Steve, with-in event_create_dir(), do we have any scenario when file->event_call->class->system doesn't have TRACE_SYSTEM? And need to execute following:
ae63b31e4d0e2e Steven Rostedt 2012-05-03 2437 d_events = parent;
looking for your input if we could remove d_events from event_create_dir().
I have hit this in the beginning, but I don't think it's an issue anymore. Perhaps just have it be:
if (WARN_ON_ONCE(strcmp(call->class->system, TRACE_SYSTEM) == 0)) return -ENODEV; ef_subsystem = event_subsystem_dir(tr, call->class->system, file, parent);Hmm, how about just add this patch before your patch set:
Sounds good. Thanks Steve :) Once you will merge below patch, I will rebase this patch in v3.

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" rostedt@goodmis.org Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Require all trace events to have a TRACE_SYSTEM
The creation of the trace event directory requires that a TRACE_SYSTEM is defined that the trace event directory is added within the system it was defined in.
The code handled the case where a TRACE_SYSTEM was not added, and would then add the event at the events directory. But nothing should be doing this. This code also prevents the implementation of creating dynamic dentrys for the eventfs system.
As this path has never been hit on correct code, remove it. If it does get hit, issues a WARN_ON_ONCE() and return ENODEV.
