Subject: [PATCH net] net/mlx5: Don't fail driver on failure to create debugfs
Date: Tue,  2 Jun 2020 15:28:37 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200602122837.161519-1-leon@kernel.org> (raw)

From: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@mellanox.com>

Clang warns:

drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1278:6: warning: variable
'err' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is true
[-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (!priv->dbg_root) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1303:9: note:
uninitialized use occurs here
        return err;
               ^~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1278:2: note: remove the
'if' if its condition is always false
        if (!priv->dbg_root) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
drivers/net/ethernet/mellanox/mlx5/core/main.c:1259:9: note: initialize
the variable 'err' to silence this warning
        int err;
               ^
                = 0
1 warning generated.

The check of returned value of debugfs_create_dir() is wrong because
by the design debugfs failures should never fail the driver and the
check itself was wrong too. The kernel compiled without CONFIG_DEBUG_FS
will return ERR_PTR(-ENODEV) and not NULL as expected.
