From c33d442328f556460b79aba6058adb37bb555389 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Sat, 6 Jul 2019 17:42:56 +0200 Subject: debugfs: make error message a bit more verbose When a file/directory is already present in debugfs, and it is attempted to be created again, be more specific about what file/directory is being created and where it is trying to be created to give a bit more help to developers to figure out the problem.
