From ec9672d57670d495404f36ab8b651bfefc0ea10b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Thu, 7 Mar 2019 16:29:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] kcov: 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.
