Messages in this thread Patch in this message |  | | From | Ingyu Jang <> | | Subject | [PATCH] error-inject: Use IS_ERR() check for debugfs_create_file() | | Date | Fri, 15 May 2026 04:32:14 +0900 |
| |
debugfs_create_file() returns an error pointer on failure, never NULL, so the !file check in ei_debugfs_init() never triggers and the debugfs_remove() cleanup cannot run.
Use IS_ERR() and propagate the actual error via PTR_ERR().
