Currently, when debugfs and reset are executed concurrently, some resources are released during the reset process, which may cause debugfs to read null pointers or other anomalies. Therefore, in this patch, interception protection has been added to debugfs operations that are sensitive to reset.
You need to explain what prevents the state from changing immediately after you did the bit check. With no obvious locking in place I don't see how this reliably fixes the issue.
