The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree (usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.) The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release during the merge window. If you have any questions about this process, please let me know. >From 56348560d495d2501e87db559a61de717cd3ab02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2021 11:08:18 +0100 Subject: debugfs: do not attempt to create a new file before the filesystem is initalized Some subsystems want to add debugfs files at early boot, way before debugfs is initialized. This seems to work somehow as the vfs layer will not allow it to happen, but let's be explicit and test to ensure we are properly up and running before allowing files to be created. Cc: "Rafael J.
