Subject: [RFC v2 10/10] pseries/papr-hvpipe: Fix error handling in case of init routine fails
Date: Wed,  8 Apr 2026 17:31:40 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3ff4de80fce72914eff23a169c974786858517e1.1775648406.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1775648406.git.ritesh.list@gmail.com>

We have already enabled interrupt sources and enabled hvpipe to received
interrupts, if misc_register() fails, we will destroy the workqueue, but
the HMC might send us a msg via hvpipe which will call, queue work on
the workqueue which might be destroyed.

So instead, let's reverse the order of enabling set_hvpipe_sys_param(1)
and in case of an error let's remove the misc dev by calling
misc_deregister().
