This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled media: platform: exynos4-is: Fix error handling in fimc_md_init() to the 4.9-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-platform-exynos4-is-fix-error-handling-in-fimc.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit d46a307086ac8b3207b777b255a03abc1681d47d Author: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Nov 11 06:08:53 2022 +0000 media: platform: exynos4-is: Fix error handling in fimc_md_init() [ Upstream commit b434422c45282a0573d8123239abc41fa72665d4 ] A problem about modprobe s5p_fimc failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 272.075275] Error: Driver 'exynos4-fimc' is already registered, aborting... modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 's5p_fimc': Device or resource busy The reason is that fimc_md_init() returns platform_driver_register() directly without checking its return value, if platform_driver_register() failed, it returns without unregister fimc_driver, resulting the s5p_fimc can never be installed later. A simple call graph is shown as below: fimc_md_init() fimc_register_driver() # register fimc_driver platform_driver_register() platform_driver_register() driver_register() bus_add_driver() dev = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without unregister fimc_driver Fix by unregister fimc_driver when platform_driver_register() returns error.
