The top "events" directory has a static inode (it's created when it is and removed when the directory is removed). There's no need to use the events ei->attr to determine its permissions. But it is used for saving the permissions of the "events" directory for when it is created, as that is needed for the default permissions for the files and directories underneath it. For example: # cd /sys/kernel/tracing # mkdir instances/foo # chown 1001 instances/foo/events The files under instances/foo/events should still have the same owner as instances/foo (which the instances/foo/events ei->attr will hold), but the events directory now has owner 1001.
