This patch adds support for getting a notify for failed device driver
bind, so all the items done in BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER event can be
cleaned if the driver fails to bind.

Hi Marek,

Thank you for the patch.

This might be a stupid question, but as you only call driver_sysfs_remove with 
failed set to true in a single location (in the failure path of really_probe), 
how about moving the blocking_notifier_call_chain to that location ? The code 
seems to be a bit out of place here.

But doesn't the bus know if the driver fails to bind, so why would a
notifier be needed here?  Can't it unwind any problems then?

I _hate_ having functions with a flag that does something different
depending on it.  If you _really_ need this, just make the notifier call
before calling this function, which should work just fine, right?

thanks,

Why can't you just use the notifier for BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER or
BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER when something goes wrong in driver
initialization?

Some other subsystems (like IOMMU) might register its own notifiers on
the given bus. Such notifier is called before driver probe
(BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER event), so one can allocate some resources there.
However there is no way to do the cleanup if the driver fails to bind,
because no notifier is called in such case.

Ok, I will fix this. If I remember correctly I followed the 
driver_sysfs_add()
function pattern, which (surprisingly, especially when one considers only
the function name) also calls the bus notifiers.

Hmmm, you might be right. BUS_NOTIFY_UNBIND_DRIVER event happens before 
unbinding
the driver, but BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER is called when driver remove 
has been
finished, so it can be considered as a symmetrical pair for 
BUS_NOTIFY_BIND_DRIVER.
Driver which registered bus notifiers is mainly interested in doing 
right cleanup,
so the code executed for IOMMU_GROUP_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER and
IOMMU_GROUP_NOTIFY_DRVBIND_FAILED is same.

I will remove this additional event and simply add a call to
BUS_NOTIFY_UNBOUND_DRIVER event when driver probe fails.

Best regards
