The patch titled Subject: lib: debugobjects: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was lib-debugobjects-no-need-to-check-return-value-of-debugfs_create-functions.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ From: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: lib: debugobjects: no need to check return value of debugfs_create functions When calling debugfs functions, there is no need to ever check the return value. The function can work or not, but the code logic should never do something different based on this.
