debugfs dentry->d_inode == NULL ?

[Felipe Dias <felipediassss@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, please what i'm doing wrong ?

Consider the debugfs_create_by_name (fs/inode.c).

I call this function two times, like this:

    struct dentry *de_mac;
    struct dentry *de_network;

debugfs_create_by_name("ipv4", S_IFDIR, NULL, &de_mac, NULL);
if (de_mac) {
   debugfs_create_by_name("tcp", S_IFDIR, de_mac, &de_network, NULL);
   if (de_mac->d_inode)
       printk("de_mac exists\n");
    else
       printk("de_mac not exists\n");

   if (de_network->d_inode)
       printk("de_network exists\n");
    else
       printk("de_network not exists\n");
}

Always de_mac exists, but in many times de_network is NULL.
debugfs_create_by_name call lookup_one_len, and return a dentry, right
? In my mind both, de_mac and de_network should have a
dentry->d_inode, right ? What i'm doing /thinking wrong ?

I'm calling this inside a packet handler.

Best Regards,
fd.
