[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.9 08/12] net: chelsio: cxgb4vf: Fix an error code in cxgb4vf_pci_probe()

STALE1769d

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-11-30 15:04:52
Also in: lkml, stable
Subsystem: cxgb4vf ethernet driver (cxgb4vf), networking drivers, the rest · Maintainers: Potnuri Bharat Teja, Andrew Lunn, "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, Linus Torvalds

From: Zheyu Ma <redacted>

[ Upstream commit b82d71c0f84a2e5ccaaa7571dfd5c69e0e2cfb4a ]

During the process of driver probing, probe function should return < 0
for failure, otherwise kernel will treat value == 0 as success.

Therefore, we should set err to -EINVAL when
adapter->registered_device_map is NULL. Otherwise kernel will assume
that driver has been successfully probed and will cause unexpected
errors.
