VRAM manager and DRM MM when init failed, there is no operaction

This will lead to memleak & cause stability issue.
NAK, failure to create sysfs nodes are not critical.

Christian.

OK, get it.
By the way, should i modify this patch to just handle <kfree(mgr)> in error branch, or that it is also unnecessary?
What you can do is to drop the "return ret" if anything with the sysfs
nodes goes wrong and instead print the error code.
Emmm, for this part, i am not sure, my modify first print the error, secone release not free memory,
and last return error, make everything clear to the system.
I think it`s the same with what you mentioned, is there something that I misunderstood?

Yes, maybe an example makes it more clear what to do here. Currently we print and error and return when something with the sysfs files goes wrong:

if (ret) {
ÂÂÂ DRM_ERROR("Failed to create device file mem_info_vram_total\n");
ÂÂÂ return ret;
}

But what we should do instead is just to print an error and continue and in the end return success status:

if (ret)
ÂÂÂ DRM_ERROR("Failed to create device file mem_info_vram_total (%d)\n", r);

...
return 0;

Regards,
Christian.



It's really annoying that loading, unloading and loading the driver
again sometimes fails because we have a bug in the sysfs files cleanup.

We certainly should fix those bugs as well, but they are just not
critical for correct driver functionality.

Christian.
