There are a number of places in device_add_disk that can fail, and even
more to come as we extend it.

Switch the return type of the function, and return the error code when
error happens.

The WARN_ON is kept because callers are not updated to check the error
yet.

Yes, I think all callers need to be reviewed before device_add_disk do the
clean up on error. For this patchset I wanted to keep the change small.

Noticed this when trying to figure out whether the error handling in
virtio_blk was correct:

Shouldn't you try to cleanup/rewind so that any structures are in a
sane state after failure? The caller doesn't know where device_add_disk
failed, and calling del_gendisk unconditionally like virtio_blk does is
probably not the right thing to do (at the very least, I don't think
unregistering a device that has not been registered is likely to work).

But do the callers even have a chance to do this correctly right now?
They will either clean up too much, or too little. ('Too little' is
probably the more common case, given that you just added error
propagation...)

Can you make del_gendisk handle devices partially setup via
device_add_disk in all cases? Then you could mandate pairing
device_add_disk with del_gendisk in all cases, error or not, and you
should have a better chance on avoiding introducing new errors.

Right, which is pre-exising.

Of course, the plan is to write patches on top. I'm not cleaning up anything
here because I'm concerned callers may double free (and I didn't look hard into
that).

Aside from Huck's concerns, the changes looked OK from aoe's perspective.
