Subject: [PATCH] tty: synclink_gt: unwind actions in error path of net device open
Date: Tue, 15 Nov 2022 10:21:14 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2b501d50-6777-a34f-7373-6648ed418794@microgate.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221114010734.314910-1-shaozhengchao@huawei.com>

hdlcdev_open() in synclink_gt.c did not fully unwind actions
in the error path. The use of try_module_get()/module_put() is 
unnecessary, potentially hazardous and is removed. The synclink_gt 
driver is already pinned any point the net device is registered, a 
requirement for calling this entry point.

The call hdlc_open() to init the generic HDLC layer is moved to
after driver level init/checks and proper rollback of previous
actions is added. This is a more sensible ordering as the
most common error paths are at the driver level and the driver
level rollbacks require less processing than
hdlc_open()/hdlc_close().

This has been tested with supported hardware.
