Check the return value of device_create_bin_file in pci_create_bus,
unwind if neccessary, and propogate any errors to the caller.

Hi Horms,

Fixing these kinds of warnings is highly useful but thankless work, so I
hate to nit pick ..

Should we kfree(b->legacy_io) here?

I'd release the memory here and NULLify legacy_io.

Here too.

Reason: If we fail to create the legacy_io file, legacy_mem will still be
NULL, because it has been not initialized at that point. But we will try
to remove it in pci_remove_legacy_files and in sysfs_remove_bin_file
we're going to derefence it and blow up.

Revised the patch to free and NULLify b->legacy_io in
pci_create_legacy_files() on error. Thanks to
Sven Wegener and Michael Ellerman for pointing out this omission.

This patch resolves the following warnings:

Yes, but you're essentially saying here that if I can't create a couple
of poxy sysfs files, I can't have this PCI bus at all? This seems like
a bad decision to me. I'd rather have a PCI bus without the files than
no PCI bus at all. By all means, we should whinge mightily if we can't
create the files so the sysadmin has a chance of figuring out why things
aren't quite working right, but I might have my root filesystem on a
device on that PCI bus.

Are you suggesting just making pci_create_bus() have a big winge
using printk() but returning void regardless of what happens?
That sounds fine to me, though I guess it would also need to unwind
if the first call to device_create_bin_file() succeeds but the second
one doesn't.

Sounds like the right course of action to me.

Uhm, this case can not happen in this version of the patch. We'll actually
fail registering the bus completely with this patch, so there should be no
chance that we'll ever go through pci_remove_legacy_files with legacy_io
!= NULL and legacy_mem == NULL. So no need to NULLify it. But with the
change Matthew suggested, we need to pay attention to it. Sorry for the
noise here.

Check the return value of device_create_bin_file in pci_create_bus and
unwind if necessary. Don't propagate error to caller, as failure to create
these files shouldn't prevent PCI from being initialised.
