Please just be a "real" pci driver and your probe function will be called if your hardware is present (or when it shows up.) To do it this way prevents your driver from being auto-loaded for when your hardware is seen in the system, as well as lots of other things. > + > + if (!zalloc_cpumask_var(&ne_cpu_pool.avail, GFP_KERNEL)) > + return -ENOMEM; > + > + mutex_init(&ne_cpu_pool.mutex); > + > + rc = pci_register_driver(&ne_pci_driver); Nice, you did it right here, but why the above crazy test? > + if (rc < 0) { > + dev_err(&pdev->dev, > + "Error in pci register driver [rc=%d]\n", rc); > + > + goto free_cpumask; > + } > + > + return 0; You leaked a reference on that pci device, didn't you? Not good :( thanks, greg k-h
