Subject: bcache: do not check return value of debugfs_create_dir()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=78ac2107176baa0daf65b0fb8e561d2ed14c83ca;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

bcache: do not check return value of debugfs_create_dir()

Greg KH suggests that normal code should not care about debugfs. Therefore
no matter successful or failed of debugfs_create_dir() execution, it is
unncessary to check its return value.

There are two functions called debugfs_create_dir() and check the return
value, which are bch_debug_init() and closure_debug_init(). This patch
changes these two functions from int to void type, and ignore return values
of debugfs_create_dir().

This patch does not fix exact bug, just makes things work as they should.
