[PATCH -next v2 0/3] cleanup of devtmpfs_*_node()
From: Longlong Xia
Date: Fri Feb 10 2023 - 04:58:35 EST
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()
