From: Haiyang Zhang <haiyangz@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 719b85c336ed35565d0f3982269d6f684087bb00 ] If rndis_filter_open() fails, we need to remove the rndis device created in earlier steps, before returning an error code. Otherwise, the retry of netvsc_attach() from its callers will fail and hang.
