Subject: [PATCH] oprofile, x86: fix init_sysfs error handling
Date: Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:56:18 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <mailman.214.1283250914.27306.linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org> (raw)

On failure init_sysfs() might not properly free resources. The error
code of the function is not checked. And, when reinitializing the exit
function might be called twice. This patch fixes all this.
