[PATCH v3 1/9] device core: add BUS_NOTIFY_DRIVER_NOT_BOUND notification

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The users of BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER have no chance to do any cleanup in case of
a probe failure. In the result there might be problems, such as some resources
that had been allocated will continue to be allocated and therefore lead to a
resource leak.

Introduce a new notification to inform the subscriber that ->probe() failed. Do
the same in case of failed device_bind_driver() call.
