Thanks for the pointer. I guess that if the result of debugfs_create_file
is actully dereferenced, then both test should be present, eg:
drivers/gpu/drm/amd/amdgpu/amdgpu_ring.c
ent = debugfs_create_file(name,
S_IFREG | S_IRUGO, root,
ring, &amdgpu_debugfs_ring_fops);
if (IS_ERR(ent))
return PTR_ERR(ent);
i_size_write(ent->d_inode, ring->ring_size + 12);
This problem seems to only occur in this directory.
thanks,
julia
