The directory was created unconditionally, before the > acpi_bus_register_driver() call. That should be OK as it is conditionally created in the way that init func returns, if proc_mkdir returns NULL: init(): acpi_processor_dir = proc_mkdir(ACPI_PROCESSOR_CLASS, acpi_root_dir); if (!acpi_processor_dir) /* -> proc_mkdir failed -> remove_proc_entry not needed */ return_VALUE(0); acpi_processor_dir->owner = THIS_MODULE; result = acpi_bus_register_driver(&acpi_processor_driver); if (result < 0) { remove_proc_entry(ACPI_PROCESSOR_CLASS, acpi_root_dir); /* here it is already removed ... */ return_VALUE(0); } /* else ... here it must be removed... */ processor_driver_registered = 1; Thanks, Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
