This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled ntb: intel: Fix error handling in intel_ntb_pci_driver_init() to the 6.4-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: ntb-intel-fix-error-handling-in-intel_ntb_pci_driver.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.4 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7b9f5f4f4ba4a81054b4298375bdf38a3828e4c0 Author: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 5 09:43:22 2022 +0000 ntb: intel: Fix error handling in intel_ntb_pci_driver_init() [ Upstream commit 4c3c796aca02883ad35bb117468938cc4022ca41 ] A problem about ntb_hw_intel create debugfs failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 273.112733] Intel(R) PCI-E Non-Transparent Bridge Driver 2.0 [ 273.115342] debugfs: Directory 'ntb_hw_intel' with parent '/' already present! The reason is that intel_ntb_pci_driver_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 ntb_hw_intel can never be created later. intel_ntb_pci_driver_init() debugfs_create_dir() # 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.
