But I think the error message should be retained in case debufs is present. How about this: commit 8fa570ca61024784138465dc5312e4ea11976404 Author: Pete Zaitcev <zaitcev@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Jul 6 12:02:42 2011 -0600 Do not bail out with an error in mon_text_init() if debugfs is not available, instead just return 0 and let mon_init() go ahead with loading the binary API. Return -ENOMEM in case debugfs_create_dir() fails for other reasons. Later, it is enough to check for mon_dir not set.
