The ubiblock_init called by ubi_init will register device number, but
device number is not released in error handling path of ubi_init when
ubi is loaded by inserting module (eg. attaching failure), which leads
to subsequent ubi_init calls failed by running out of device number
(dmesg shows that "__register_blkdev: failed to get major for ubiblock").
Fix it by invoking ubiblock_exit() in corresponding error handling path.

Thank you for taking care of this issue.

See my comment inline below:

I believe that this call is the reason for the section mismatch we
are seeing on Intel's kernel test builds:

https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202404110656.wLLc5mHR-lkp@xxxxxxxxx/

Also note that Ben Hutchings has supplied a more complete and imho
better solution for this problem, which yet still suffers from the
same problem (calling __exit function from __init function which
results in section mismatch).


My mistake, I always forget to check make W=1, I will send a new version to combine Ben's modifications. Thanks to point that.

unregister_mtd_user(&ubi_mtd_notifier);
out_debugfs:
ubi_debugfs_exit();
