    Subject[PATCH] mm/zsmalloc: don't fail if can't create debugfs info
    Date
    Change the return type of zs_pool_stat_create() to void, and
    remove the logic to abort pool creation if the stat debugfs
    dir/file could not be created.

    The debugfs stat file is for debugging/information only, and doesn't
    affect operation of zsmalloc; there is no reason to abort creating
    the pool if the stat file can't be created. This was seen with
    zswap, which used the same name for all pool creations, which caused
    zsmalloc to fail to create a second pool for zswap if
    CONFIG_ZSMALLOC_STAT was enabled.
