+ * debugfs_enter_cancellation - enter a debugfs cancellation
+ * @file: the file being accessed

+ *
+ * When a debugfs file is removed it needs to wait for all active
+ * operations to complete. However, the operation itself may need
+ * to wait for hardware or completion of some asynchronous process
+ * or similar. As such, it may need to be cancelled to avoid long
+ * waits or even deadlocks.
+ *
+ * This function can be used inside a debugfs handler that may
+ * need to be cancelled. As soon as this function is called, the
+ * cancellation's 'cancel' callback may be called, at which point
+ * the caller should proceed to call debugfs_leave_cancellation()
+ * and leave the debugfs handler function as soon as possible.
+ * Note that the 'cancel' callback is only ever called in the
+ * context of some kind of debugfs_remove().
+ *
+ * This function must be paired with debugfs_leave_cancellation().
