Hi Greg, this started happening with:

commit ff9fb72bc07705c00795ca48631f7fffe24d2c6b (HEAD)
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Wed Jan 23 11:28:14 2019 +0100

debugfs: return error values, not NULL

But virt/kvm/kvm_main.c still checks for NULL:

if (kvm->debugfs_dentry) {
char *tmp, *p = kmalloc(PATH_MAX, GFP_KERNEL);

if (p) {
tmp = dentry_path_raw(kvm->debugfs_dentry, p, PATH_MAX);
if (!IS_ERR(tmp))
add_uevent_var(env, "STATS_PATH=%s", tmp);
kfree(p);
}
}

... and sometimes kvm->debugfs_dentry = ERR_PTR(-EEXIST).
