This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: amphion: Fix error handling in vpu_driver_init() 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: media-amphion-fix-error-handling-in-vpu_driver_init.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 56a3f665ef6382bfe14f513f978db48c0b354d7d Author: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 11 06:09:26 2022 +0000 media: amphion: Fix error handling in vpu_driver_init() [ Upstream commit a95cc6d11aae16a7b2d043b073a40de81bbea689 ] A problem about modprobe amphion-vpu failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 2208.634841] Error: Driver 'amphion-vpu' is already registered, aborting... modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'amphion_vpu': Device or resource busy The reason is that vpu_driver_init() returns vpu_core_driver_init() directly without checking its return value, if vpu_core_driver_init() failed, it returns without unregister amphion_vpu_driver, resulting the amphion-vpu can never be installed later. A simple call graph is shown as below: vpu_driver_init() platform_driver_register() # register amphion_vpu_driver vpu_core_driver_init() platform_driver_register() driver_register() bus_add_driver() dev = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without unregister amphion_vpu_driver Fix by unregister amphion_vpu_driver when vpu_core_driver_init() returns error.
