Subject: [PATCH -next v2 0/3] cleanup of devtmpfs_*_node()
Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2023 09:54:41 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230210095444.4067307-1-xialonglong1@huawei.com> (raw)

In one test, when modprobe zram, no zram device was found in the /dev. 
But don't see any errors printed in jouranls/dmesg. Later we found out 
that the reason was that device_add() did not check its return value when
calling devtmpfs_create_node().

The test steps:
1. Set the SElinux label of /dev to user_home_t 
2. modprobe zram num_devices=1000

v1 -> v2:
- New patch 1 to add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node().
- use dev_err() to replace pr_err_ratelimited in [2].
- only remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node() in [3].

Longlong Xia (3):
  driver core: add error handling for devtmpfs_create_node()
  devtmpfs: add debug info to handle()
  devtmpfs: remove return value of devtmpfs_delete_node()
