[ Upstream commit f524b7289bbb0c8ffaa2ba3c34c146e43da54fb2 ] A problem about insmod thunderbolt-net failed is triggered with following log given while lsmod does not show thunderbolt_net: insmod: ERROR: could not insert module thunderbolt-net.ko: File exists The reason is that tbnet_init() returns tb_register_service_driver() directly without checking its return value, if tb_register_service_driver() failed, it returns without removing property directory, resulting the property directory can never be created later. tbnet_init() tb_register_property_dir() # register property directory tb_register_service_driver() driver_register() bus_add_driver() priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without remove property directory Fix by remove property directory when tb_register_service_driver() returns error.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
