Re: [patch] PCI: check the return value of device_create_bin_file() in pci_create_bus()

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

 



Check the return value of device_create_bin_file in pci_create_bus and
unwind if necessary. Don't propagate error to caller, as failure to create
these files shouldn't prevent PCI from being initialised.

* Revised the patch to free and NULLify b->legacy_io in
  pci_create_legacy_files() on error. Thanks to
  Sven Wegener and Michael Ellerman for pointing out this omission.
