Upon module load, mmc_block allocates a bus with bus_register in mmc_blk_init. This reference never gets freed during module unload. Subsequent re-insertions of the module fail and BUG() is triggered: [ 84.583342] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/mmc_rpmb' [ 84.583373] CPU: 6 PID: 1825 Comm: modprobe Tainted: P O 4.16.0-rc6-00384-gf36b753 #30 [ 84.583381] Hardware name: LENOVO 20ENCTO1WW/20ENCTO1WW, BIOS N1EET62W (1.35 ) 11/10/2016 [ 84.583385] Call Trace: [ 84.583401] dump_stack+0x5a/0x75 [ 84.583411] sysfs_warn_dup+0x58/0x70 [ 84.583419] sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x70/0x80 [ 84.583437] kobject_add_internal+0xa5/0x2c0 [ 84.583453] kset_register+0x44/0x60 [ 84.583470] bus_register+0xc6/0x270 [ 84.583479] ? 0xffffffffa000d000 [ 84.583492] mmc_blk_init+0x12/0x1000 [mmc_block] [ 84.583501] do_one_initcall+0x4e/0x194 [ 84.583510] ? ___cache_free+0x21/0x2b0 [ 84.583524] do_init_module+0x5a/0x20f [ 84.583533] load_module+0x235c/0x2510 [ 84.583550] ?
