functionfs, gadgetfs: use simple_recursive_removal() (2025-07-02 22:36:52 -0400)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Removing subtrees of kernel filesystems is done in quite a few
places; unfortunately, it's easy to get wrong. A number of open-coded
attempts are out there, with varying amount of bogosities.
simple_recursive_removal() had been introduced for doing that with
all precautions needed; it does an equivalent of rm -rf, with sufficient
locking, eviction of anything mounted on top of the subtree, etc.
This series converts a bunch of open-coded instances to using that.
----------------------------------------------------------------
