-Subject: [PATCH] kvm: properly check debugfs dentry before using it
-
-debugfs can now report an error code if something went wrong instead of
-just NULL. So if the return value is to be used as a "real" dentry, it
-needs to be checked if it is an error before dereferencing it.
-
-This is now happening because of ff9fb72bc077 ("debugfs: return error
-values, not NULL"). syzbot has found a way to trigger multiple debugfs
-files attempting to be created, which fails, and then the error code
-gets passed to dentry_path_raw() which obviously does not like it.
