commit 84d0c27d6233a9ba0578b20f5a09701eb66cee42 upstream. syzbot is hitting WARN() at kernfs_add_one() [1]. This is because kernfs_create_link() is confused by previous device_add() call which continued without setting dev->kobj.parent field when get_device_parent() failed by memory allocation fault injection. Fix this by propagating the error from class_dir_create_and_add() to the calllers of get_device_parent().

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
