From 3e423945ea94412283eaba8bfbe9d6e0a80b434f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 3 Sep 2016 11:02:50 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] devpts: return NULL pts 'priv' entry for non-devpts nodes In commit 8ead9dd54716 ("devpts: more pty driver interface cleanups") I made devpts_get_priv() just return the dentry->fs_data directly. And because I thought it wouldn't happen, I added a warning if you ever saw a pts node that wasn't on devpts. And no, that warning never triggered under any actual real use, but you can trigger it by creating nonsensical pts nodes by hand. So just revert the warning, and make devpts_get_priv() return NULL for that case like it used to.
