This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled NTB: amd: Fix error handling in amd_ntb_pci_driver_init() to the 6.1-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-amd-fix-error-handling-in-amd_ntb_pci_driver_ini.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.1 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 02c36801bbfb264b0b8a9241fed42c064a2dbe08 Author: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat Nov 5 09:43:09 2022 +0000 NTB: amd: Fix error handling in amd_ntb_pci_driver_init() [ Upstream commit 98af0a33c1101c29b3ce4f0cf4715fd927c717f9 ] A problem about ntb_hw_amd create debugfs failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 618.431232] AMD(R) PCI-E Non-Transparent Bridge Driver 1.0 [ 618.433284] debugfs: Directory 'ntb_hw_amd' with parent '/' already present! The reason is that amd_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_amd can never be created later. amd_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.
