[PATCH 4.9 004/111] net/mlx5: Fix debugfs cleanup in the device init/remove flow

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 24 2018 - 08:00:50 EST


4.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jack Morgenstein <jackm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 5df816e7f43f1297c40021ef17ec6e722b45c82f ]

When initializing the device (procedure init_one), the driver
calls mlx5_pci_init to perform pci initialization. As part of this
initialization, mlx5_pci_init creates a debugfs directory.
If this creation fails, init_one aborts, returning failure to
the caller (which is the probe method caller).

The main reason for such a failure to occur is if the debugfs
directory already exists. This can happen if the last time
mlx5_pci_close was called, debugfs_remove (silently) failed due
to the debugfs directory not being empty.

Guarantee that such a debugfs_remove failure will not occur by
instead calling debugfs_remove_recursive in procedure mlx5_pci_close.
