From: Chen Zhongjin <chenzhongjin@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 4ad09d956f8eacff61e67e5b13ba8ebec3232f76 upstream. In iio_register_sw_trigger_type(), configfs_register_default_group() is possible to fail, but the entry add to iio_trigger_types_list is not deleted. This leaves wild in iio_trigger_types_list, which can cause page fault when module is loading again. So fix this by list_del(&t->list) in error path. BUG: unable to handle page fault for address: fffffbfff81d7400 Call Trace: <TASK> iio_register_sw_trigger_type do_one_initcall do_init_module load_module ...
