9 * eventfs is used to dynamically create inodes and dentries based on the
10 * meta data provided by the tracing system.
12 * eventfs stores the meta-data of files/dirs and holds off on creating
13 * inodes/dentries of the files. When accessed, the eventfs will create the
14 * inodes/dentries in a just-in-time (JIT) manner. The eventfs will clean up
15 * and delete the inodes/dentries when they are no longer referenced.
