[PATCH 4.19 041/191] tracing: Fix tracing_stat return values in error handling paths

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri Feb 21 2020 - 03:18:17 EST


From: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit afccc00f75bbbee4e4ae833a96c2d29a7259c693 ]

tracing_stat_init() was always returning '0', even on the error paths. It
now returns -ENODEV if tracing_init_dentry() fails or -ENOMEM if it fails
to created the 'trace_stat' debugfs directory.

Fixes: ed6f1c996bfe4 ("tracing: Check return value of tracing_init_dentry()")
