From 36991ca68db9dd43bac7f3519f080ee3939263ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed, 23 Jan 2019 14:48:54 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] blk-mq: protect debugfs_create_files() from failures If debugfs were to return a non-NULL error for a debugfs call, using that pointer later in debugfs_create_files() would crash. Fix that by properly checking the pointer before referencing it.
