synths[] array caches currently loaded synths. synth_add checks synths[] before adding a new one. It however ignores the result of do_synth_init. So when do_synth_init fails, the failed synth is still cached. Since, as a result module loading fails too, synth_remove - which is responsible for removing the cached synth - is never called. Next time the failing synth is added again it succeeds because synth_add finds it cached inside synths[]. This patch fixes this by caching a synth only after do_synth_init succeeds.

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.
