[RFC PATCH] software node: Skip duplicated software_node sysfs

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

 



A recent commit allowed device_create_managed_software_node() to call
software_node_notify() which could generate duplicated "software_node"
sysfs files. For example,

"/devices/platform/808622B7:01/xhci-hcd.3.auto/software_node"

Since it was created earlier from another path,

  sysfs_create_link
  software_node_notify
  device_add
  platform_device_add
  dwc3_host_init
  dwc3_probe
  platform_probe
  really_probe.part.0
  really_probe
  __driver_probe_device
  driver_probe_device
  __driver_attach
  bus_for_each_dev
  driver_attach
  bus_add_driver
  driver_register
  __platform_driver_register
  dwc3_driver_init at drivers/usb/dwc3/core.c:2072
  do_one_initcall

Fixed it by using sysfs_create_link_nowarn() in software_node_notify() to
avoid those bad messages during booting,

sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/platform/808622B7:01/xhci-hcd.3.auto/software_node'
