The qat_ras sysfs attribute group is registered within the adf_dev_start() function, alongside other driver components. If any of the functions preceding the group registration fails, the adf_dev_start() function returns, and the caller, to undo the operation, invokes adf_dev_stop() followed by adf_dev_shutdown(). However, the current flow lacks information about whether the registration of the qat_ras attribute group was successful or not. In cases where this condition is encountered, an error similar to the following might be reported: 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Starting device qat_dev0 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: qat_dev0 started 9 acceleration engines 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Failed to send init message 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Failed to start device qat_dev0 sysfs group 'qat_ras' not found for kobject '0000:6b:00.0' ... sysfs_remove_groups+0x29/0x50 adf_sysfs_stop_ras+0x4b/0x80 [intel_qat] adf_dev_stop+0x43/0x1d0 [intel_qat] adf_dev_down+0x4b/0x150 [intel_qat] ... 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: qat_dev0 stopped 9 acceleration engines 4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Resetting device qat_dev0 To prevent attempting to remove attributes from a group that has not been added yet, a flag named 'sysfs_added' is introduced. This flag is set to true upon the successful registration of the attribute group.
