The libertas driver was trying to register sysfs groups "by hand" which causes them to be created _after_ the device is initialized and announced to userspace, which causes races and can prevent userspace tools from seeing the sysfs files correctly. Fix this up by using the built-in sysfs_groups pointers in struct net_device which were created for this very reason, fixing the race condition, and properly allowing for any error that might have occured to be handled properly.

This reverts commit 43425683. Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were correct or not. Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. The original commit was incorrect, the error needs to be propagated back to the caller AND if the second group call fails, the first needs to be removed. There are much better ways to solve this, the driver should NOT be calling sysfs_create_group() on its own as it is racing userspace and loosing.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change.

crypt_stat memory itself is allocated when inode is created, in ecryptfs_alloc_inode, which returns NULL on failure and is handled by callers, which would prevent us getting to this point. It then calls ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat which allocates crypt_stat->tfm checking for and likewise handling allocation failure. Finally, crypt_stat->flags has ECRYPTFS_STRUCT_INITIALIZED merged into it in ecryptfs_init_crypt_stat as well. Simply put, the conditions that the BUG_ON checks for will never be triggered, as to even get to this function, the relevant conditions will have already been fulfilled (or the inode allocation would fail in the first place and thus no call to this function or those above it).

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. The original commit log for this change was incorrect, no "error handling code" was added, things will blow up just as badly as before if any of these cases ever were true. As this BUG_ON() never fired, and most of these checks are "obviously" never going to be true, let's just revert to the original code for now until this gets unwound to be done correctly in the future.

Modify return type of hfcusb_ph_info to int, so that we can pass error value up the call stack when allocation of ph_info fails. Also change three of four call sites to actually account for the memory failure. The fourth, in ph_state_nt, is infeasible to change as it is in turn called by ph_state which is used as a function pointer argument to mISDN_initdchannel, which would necessitate changing its signature and updating all the places where it is used (too many). Fixes original flawed commit (38d22659) from the University of Minnesota. Cc: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net> Signed-off-by:

Move hw->cfg.mode and hw->addr.mode assignments from hw->ci->cfg_mode and hw->ci->addr_mode respectively, to be before the subsequent checks for memory IO mode (and possible ioremap calls in this case). Also introduce ioremap error checks at both locations. This allows resources to be properly freed on ioremap failure, as when the caller of setup_io then subsequently calls release_io via its error path, release_io can now correctly determine the mode as it has been set before the ioremap call. Finally, refactor release_io function so that it will call release_mem_region in the memory IO case, regardless of whether or not hw->cfg.p/hw->addr.p are NULL. This means resources are then properly released on failure. This properly implements the original reverted commit (d721fe99) from the University of Minnesota, whilst also implementing the ioremap check for the hw->ci->cfg_mode if block as well. Cc: David S.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. This patch "looks" correct, but the driver keeps on running and will fail horribly right afterward if this error condition ever trips.

The fields, "toc" and "cd_info", of "struct gdrom_unit gd" are allocated in "probe_gdrom()". Prevent a memory leak by making sure "gd.cd_info" is deallocated in the "remove_gdrom()" function. Also prevent double free of the field "gd.toc" by moving it from the module's exit function to "remove_gdrom()". This is because, in "probe_gdrom()", the function makes sure to deallocate "gd.toc" in case of any errors, so the exit function invoked later would again free "gd.toc". The patch also maintains consistency by deallocating the above mentioned fields in "remove_gdrom()" along with another memory allocated field "gd.disk". Suggested-by:

niu_pci_eeprom_read() may fail, so add checks to its return value and propagate the error up the callstack. An examination of the callstack up to niu_pci_eeprom_read shows that: niu_pci_eeprom_read() // returns int niu_pci_vpd_scan_props() // returns int niu_pci_vpd_fetch() // returns *void* niu_get_invariants() // returns int since niu_pci_vpd_fetch() returns void which breaks the bubbling up, change its return type to int so that error is propagated upwards.

The condition of dev == NULL is impossible in caif_xmit(), hence it is for the removal. Explanation: The static caif_xmit() is only called upon via a function pointer `ndo_start_xmit` defined in include/linux/netdevice.h: ``` struct net_device_ops { ... netdev_tx_t (*ndo_start_xmit)(struct sk_buff *skb, struct net_device *dev); ... } ``` The exhausive list of call points are: ``` drivers/net/ethernet/qualcomm/rmnet/rmnet_map_command.c dev->netdev_ops->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev); ^ ^ drivers/infiniband/ulp/opa_vnic/opa_vnic_netdev.c struct opa_vnic_adapter *adapter = opa_vnic_priv(netdev); ^ ^ return adapter->rn_ops->ndo_start_xmit(skb, netdev); // adapter would crash first ^ ^ drivers/usb/gadget/function/f_ncm.c ncm->netdev->netdev_ops->ndo_start_xmit(NULL, ncm->netdev); ^ ^ include/linux/netdevice.h static inline netdev_tx_t __netdev_start_xmit(... { return ops->ndo_start_xmit(skb, dev); ^ } const struct net_device_ops *ops = dev->netdev_ops; ^ rc = __netdev_start_xmit(ops, skb, dev, more); ^ ``` In each of the enumerated scenarios, it is impossible for the NULL-valued dev to reach the caif_xmit() without crashing the kernel earlier, therefore `BUG_ON(dev == NULL)` is rather useless, hence the removal.

This reverts commit 76597628. Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were correct or not. Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons below, so it must be reverted. It will be fixed up "correctly" in a later kernel change. This commit is not correct, it should not have used unlikely() and is not propagating the error properly to the calling function, so it should be reverted at this point in time. Also, if the check failed, the work queue was still assumed to be allocated, so further accesses would have continued to fail, meaning this patch does nothing to solve the root issues at all.
