This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled genirq/irqdesc: Don't try to remove non-existing sysfs files to the 6.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: genirq-irqdesc-don-t-try-to-remove-non-existing-sysf.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 0553a915e09e4b4c49d643f217e3f5bddc16d27f Author: Yang Yingliang <yangyingliang@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Nov 28 23:16:12 2022 +0800 genirq/irqdesc: Don't try to remove non-existing sysfs files [ Upstream commit 9049e1ca41983ab773d7ea244bee86d7835ec9f5 ] Fault injection tests trigger warnings like this: kernfs: can not remove 'chip_name', no directory WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 253 at fs/kernfs/dir.c:1616 kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xce/0xe0 RIP: 0010:kernfs_remove_by_name_ns+0xce/0xe0 Call Trace: <TASK> remove_files.isra.1+0x3f/0xb0 sysfs_remove_group+0x68/0xe0 sysfs_remove_groups+0x41/0x70 __kobject_del+0x45/0xc0 kobject_del+0x29/0x40 free_desc+0x42/0x70 irq_free_descs+0x5e/0x90 The reason is that the interrupt descriptor sysfs handling does not roll back on a failing kobject_add() during allocation. If the descriptor is freed later on, kobject_del() is invoked with a not added kobject resulting in the above warnings. A proper rollback in case of a kobject_add() failure would be the straight forward solution. But this is not possible due to the way how interrupt descriptor sysfs handling works. Interrupt descriptors are allocated before sysfs becomes available. So the sysfs files for the early allocated descriptors are added later in the boot process. At this point there can be nothing useful done about a failing kobject_add(). For consistency the interrupt descriptor allocation always treats kobject_add() failures as non-critical and just emits a warning. To solve this problem, keep track in the interrupt descriptor whether kobject_add() was successful or not and make the invocation of kobject_del() conditional on that.
