Oh, I would not have expected to need to consider any alternate group
ops for attribute visibility beyond t->ct_group_ops. However in my RFC
example I made this mistake:

  static struct configfs_group_operations tsm_report_group_ops = {
         .make_item = tsm_report_make_item,
+        .is_visible = tsm_report_attr_visible,
+        .is_bin_visible = tsm_report_bin_attr_visible,
  };
 
Which in retrospect is the wrong level, and I suspect only reachable if
you do the the above awkward indirection ("ops =
g->cg_item.ci_type->ct_group_ops"). Instead, I was expecting symmetry
with sysfs where the object that carries ->attrs also carries
->is_visible, so something like this:

+ static struct configfs_group_operations tsm_report_attr_group_ops = {
+         .is_visible = tsm_report_attr_visible,
+         .is_bin_visible = tsm_report_bin_attr_visible,
+ };

  const struct config_item_type tsm_report_type = {
          .ct_owner = THIS_MODULE,
          .ct_bin_attrs = tsm_report_bin_attrs,
          .ct_attrs = tsm_report_attrs,
          .ct_item_ops = &tsm_report_item_ops,
+         .ct_group_ops = &tsm_report_attr_group_ops
  };
  EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(tsm_report_default_type);

...because is_visible() at the g->cg_item.ci_type->ct_group_ops level
would seem to mean parent directory visibility which is mismatched.

However as I stare at this a bit more it sinks in that configfs "group"
!= sysfs "group". So I am open to the suggestion that ci_item_ops is the
right place to house item attribute visibility callbacks, or even a new
"ci_attr_ops" expressly for this purpose. Either way my expectation is
that config_item_type can get to the visibilty callbacks for its
attributes without needing to traverse any other groups or items.
