A problem about modprobe fm10k failed is triggered with the following log
given:
Intel(R) Ethernet Switch Host Interface Driver
Copyright(c) 2013 - 2019 Intel Corporation.
debugfs: Directory 'fm10k' with parent '/' already present!
The reason is that fm10k_init_module() returns fm10k_register_pci_driver()
directly without checking its return value, if fm10k_register_pci_driver()
failed, it returns without removing debugfs and destroy workqueue,
resulting the debugfs of fm10k can never be created later and leaks the
workqueue.
fm10k_init_module()
alloc_workqueue()
fm10k_dbg_init() # create debugfs
fm10k_register_pci_driver()
pci_register_driver()
driver_register()
bus_add_driver()
priv = kzalloc(...) # OOM happened
# return without remove debugfs and destroy workqueue
Fix by remove debugfs and destroy workqueue when
fm10k_register_pci_driver() returns error.
Fixes: 7461fd913afe ("fm10k: Add support for debugfs")
Fixes: b382bb1b3e2d ("fm10k: use separate workqueue for fm10k driver")

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.
