Subject: [PATCH] xen/debugfs: Check debugfs initialization before using it
Date: Mon, 9 Dec 2013 18:04:03 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1386583443-568-1-git-send-email-ethan.kernel@gmail.com> (raw)
From: "Ethan Zhao" <ethan.kernel@gmail.com>
Should check debugfs initialization with debugfs_initialized() before using it,
Because if it isn't initialized, the return value of fake debugfs_create_dir() etc
functions would be ERR_PTR(-ENODEV), checking with NULL will not work.
V3: Add warning message about debugfs not configured or disabled.
