Subject: [PATCH 3/5] DebugFS : file/directory creation error handling, 2.6.18
Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2006 03:00:09 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061123080009.GD1703@Krystal> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20061122052730.GD20836@kroah.com>

Fix error handling of file and directory creation in DebugFS.

The error path should release the file system because no _remove will be called
for this erroneous creation.
