     a pointer to the parent dentry for this file.  This should be a
     directory dentry if set.  If this parameter is <code class="constant">NULL</code>, then the
     directory will be created in the root of the securityfs filesystem.

   This function creates a directory in securityfs with the given <em class="parameter"><code>name</code></em>.
   </p><p>

   This function returns a pointer to a dentry if it succeeds.  This
   pointer must be passed to the <code class="function">securityfs_remove</code> 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, <code class="constant">NULL</code> will be returned.
   </p><p>

   If securityfs is not enabled in the kernel, the value <code class="constant">-ENODEV</code> is
   returned.  It is not wise to check for this value, but rather, check for
   <code class="constant">NULL</code> or !<code class="constant">NULL</code> instead as to eliminate the need for #ifdef in the calling
   code.
