Thanks for pointing this out.

debugfs creation should move into the if (!mem) {...} above to avoid
duplication.
I think having a separated struct dentry pointer for the default
debugfs should be enough?

if (!debugfs)
    debugfs = debugfs_create_dir("swiotlb", NULL);
swiotlb_create_debugfs(mem, rmem->name, debugfs);
