net: hinic: Fix error handling in hinic_module_init()
[ Upstream commit 8eab9be56cc6b702a445d2b6d0256aa0992316b3 ]
A problem about hinic create debugfs failed is triggered with the
following log given:
[ 931.419023] debugfs: Directory 'hinic' with parent '/' already present!
The reason is that hinic_module_init() returns pci_register_driver()
directly without checking its return value, if pci_register_driver()
failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting
the debugfs of hinic can never be created later.
hinic_module_init()
hinic_dbg_register_debugfs() # create debugfs directory
pci_register_driver()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without destroy debugfs directory
Fix by removing debugfs when pci_register_driver() returns error.
