Commit Message

Jinjie Ruan Oct. 7, 2023, 11:38 a.m. UTC
Both debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return ERR_PTR
and never return NULL.

As Hans suggested, this patch removes the error checking for both
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() in smsdvb_debugfs_create().
This is because the DebugFS kernel API is developed in a way that the
caller can safely ignore the errors that occur during the creation of
DebugFS nodes. The debugfs APIs have a IS_ERR() judge in start_creating()
which can handle it gracefully. So these checks are unnecessary.

And as Hans pointed out, it's much better to first allocate debug_data
before calling debugfs_create_dir, which need not to clean anything up in
that case.

Fixes: 503efe5cfc9f ("[media] siano: split debugfs code into a separate file")

v2:
- Remove the err check instead of using IS_ERR to replace NULL check.
- Allocate debug_data before calling debugfs_create_dir().
- Update the commit message and title.
- Add suggested-by.
