[PATCH v3 4/9] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix & simplify error handling in papr_hvpipe_init()
From: Ritesh Harjani (IBM)
Date: Fri May 01 2026 - 00:26:09 EST
Remove such 3 levels of nesting patterns to check success return values
from function calls.
ret = enable_hvpipe_IRQ()
if (!ret)
ret = set_hvpipe_sys_param(1)
if (!ret)
ret = misc_register()
Instead just bail out to "out*:" labels, in case of any error. This
simplifies the init flow.
While at it let's also fix the following error handling logic:
We have already enabled interrupt sources and enabled hvpipe to received
interrupts, if misc_register() fails, we will destroy the workqueue, but
the HMC might send us a msg via hvpipe which will call, queue work on
the workqueue which might be destroyed.
So instead, let's reverse the order of enabling set_hvpipe_sys_param(1)
and in case of an error let's remove the misc dev by calling
misc_deregister().
