[ Upstream commit d717a3ab282f51ec45142f911f7ef8a55c057de5 ] A problem about idt_89hpesx create debugfs failed is triggered with the following log given: [ 4973.269647] debugfs: Directory 'idt_csr' with parent '/' already present! The reason is that idt_init() returns i2c_add_driver() directly without checking its return value, if i2c_add_driver() failed, it returns without destroy the newly created debugfs, resulting the debugfs of idt_csr can never be created later. idt_init() debugfs_create_dir() # create debugfs directory i2c_add_driver() driver_register() bus_add_driver() priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened # return without destroy debugfs directory Fix by removing debugfs when i2c_add_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.
