Steven Rostedt (Google) 5790b1fb3d eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode
Instead of having a descriptor for every file represented in the eventfs
directory, only have the directory itself represented. Change the API to
send in a list of entries that represent all the files in the directory
(but not other directories). The entry list contains a name and a callback
function that will be used to create the files when they are accessed.

struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_events_dir(const char *name, struct dentry *parent,
						const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
						int size, void *data);

is used for the top level eventfs directory, and returns an eventfs_inode
that will be used by:

struct eventfs_inode *eventfs_create_dir(const char *name, struct eventfs_inode *parent,
					 const struct eventfs_entry *entries,
					 int size, void *data);

where both of the above take an array of struct eventfs_entry entries for
every file that is in the directory.

The entries are defined by:

typedef int (*eventfs_callback)(const char *name, umode_t *mode, void **data,
				const struct file_operations **fops);

struct eventfs_entry {
	const char			*name;
	eventfs_callback		callback;
};

Where the name is the name of the file and the callback gets called when
the file is being created. The callback passes in the name (in case the
same callback is used for multiple files), a pointer to the mode, data and
fops. The data will be pointing to the data that was passed in
eventfs_create_dir() or eventfs_create_events_dir() but may be overridden
to point to something else, as it will be used to point to the
inode->i_private that is created. The information passed back from the
callback is used to create the dentry/inode.

If the callback fills the data and the file should be created, it must
return a positive number. On zero or negative, the file is ignored.

This logic may also be used as a prototype to convert entire pseudo file
systems into just-in-time allocation.

The "show_events_dentry" file has been updated to show the directories,
and any files they have.

With just the eventfs_file allocations:
