Please stop this silly __func__ nonsense. You already have a prefix and if
you write out a proper sentence describing the problem then it's way more
helpful than __func__

	pr_warn("Failed to add file %s, err %d\n" ....

Tells exactly what happened and for a sysadmin this is information enough
as he does not care at all in which function that happens. For the
developer who is poked by that admin it's easy enough to find the function
via the string.

num_closids please

cbm_val? Is that a value? No, it's the valid bitmask which you can set. So
cmb_mask or something else which is unambiguous is what you want here.

This is a user space interface and we really must make it as intuitive as
possible.

What clears kn_info?
