Subject: ext4: return an error if kset_create_and_add fails in ext4_init_fs()
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0e376b1e3ccedee49cb8cc6b652fbc1e7c15eeef;p=linux-beck.git

ext4: return an error if kset_create_and_add fails in ext4_init_fs()

In the very unlikely case that kset_create_and_add() fails when the
ext4.ko module is being loaded (or during kernel startup) set err so
that it's clear that the module load failed.
