+/**
+ * securityfs_create_file - create a file in the securityfs filesystem
+ *
+ * @name: a pointer to a string containing the name of the file to create.
+ * @mode: the permission that the file should have
+ * @parent: a pointer to the parent dentry for this file. This should be a
+ * directory dentry if set. If this parameter is %NULL, then the
+ * file will be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.
+ * @data: a pointer to something that the caller will want to get to later
+ * on. The inode.i_private pointer will point to this value on
+ * the open() call.
+ * @fops: a pointer to a struct file_operations that should be used for
+ * this file.
+ *
+ * This function creates a file in securityfs with the given @name.
+ *
+ * This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds. This
+ * pointer must be passed to the securityfs_remove() function when the file is
+ * to be removed (no automatic cleanup happens if your module is unloaded,
+ * you are responsible here). If an error occurs, the function will return
+ * the error value (via ERR_PTR).
+ *
+ * If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value %-ENODEV is
+ * returned.
