[gregkh]

This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

    driver core: Don't ignore class_dir_create_and_add() failure.

to my driver-core git tree which can be found at
    git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git
in the driver-core-next branch.

The patch will show up in the next release of the linux-next tree
(usually sometime within the next 24 hours during the week.)

The patch will also be merged in the next major kernel release
during the merge window.

If you have any questions about this process, please let me know.

Subject: driver core: Don't ignore class_dir_create_and_add() failure.

syzbot is hitting WARN() at kernfs_add_one() [1].
This is because kernfs_create_link() is confused by previous device_add()
call which continued without setting dev->kobj.parent field when
get_device_parent() failed by memory allocation fault injection.
Fix this by propagating the error from class_dir_create_and_add() to
the calllers of get_device_parent().
