Subject: [PATCH v2] scsi: mpt3sas: Simplify debugfs setup
Date: Thu,  8 Oct 2026 10:34:40 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261008023440.468919-1-lei.chen@smartx.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261007141951.417155-1-lei.chen@smartx.com>

The debugfs creation helpers return error pointers on failure, so the
existing NULL checks do not handle creation failures. There is no need
to add error handling here: debugfs accepts error pointers as parents
and debugfs_remove_recursive() safely handles error pointers and NULL.

Remove the ineffective checks, error messages and file-creation rollback.
Allow host_recovery creation to proceed independently of ioc_dump, and
leave any successfully created entries for the existing teardown path
to remove.

The setup function is called only once per adapter from probe, so create
the per-adapter directory without checking whether it already exists.

Changes in v2:
- Remove debugfs error checks and logging instead of adding
  IS_ERR_OR_NULL() checks.
- Leave debugfs cleanup to the existing teardown path.
- Allow host_recovery creation to proceed independently of ioc_dump.
- Remove the redundant directory existence check, since setup is called
  only once per adapter from probe.
- Reframe the patch as a cleanup and drop the Fixes tag.
