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. Instead, just log a warning. Cc: Sven Wegener <sven.wegener@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael Ellerman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Simon Horman <horms@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Tue, 5 Aug 2008 21:14:07 +1000 * Revised the patch to free and NULLify b->legacy_io in pci_create_legacy_files() on error. Wed, 06 Aug 2008 10:49:30 +1000 * Don't propagate error to caller, as failure to create these files shouldn't prevent PCI from being initialised. Thu, 07 Aug 2008 09:28:56 +1000 * Remove spurious return value. Amusingly this patch was introducing warnings :-) Thu, 07 Aug 2008 11:15:32 +1000 * Print a warning if legacy file initialisation fails.
