From: Yuan Can <yuancan@xxxxxxxxxx> [ 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.
