Subject: [PATCH] scsi: mpt3sas: Fix debugfs setup error handling
Date: Wed, 7 Oct 2026 22:19:51 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261007141951.417155-1-lei.chen@smartx.com> (raw)
debugfs_create_dir() and debugfs_create_file() return error pointers on
failure, but mpt3sas_setup_debugfs() only checks for NULL. As a result,
setup continues after directory creation fails, and a failure to create
ioc_dump leaves the per-adapter directory behind and still allows setup
of host_recovery to proceed.
Skip per-adapter setup if the driver debugfs root is unavailable, and
use IS_ERR_OR_NULL() to check directory and file creation results so
that the existing error paths also handle error pointers.
With the corrected error check, file creation failure removes the
per-adapter directory. Clear the stored directory pointer as well so
teardown does not attempt to remove the freed dentry again.
Fixes: 2b01b293f359 ("scsi: mpt3sas: Capture IOC data for debugging purposes")
