DEBUG_SHIRQ is only one of many reasons -- quite simply, you are fixing an order-of-init bug that leads to races and other badness. I would request that the error cleanup be done in the standard style for net drivers (indeed, most drivers): rc = request_irq(...); if (rc) goto err_out; ... return 0; err_out: ... return rc; Also I would change the subject to something like fix order of init bugs or fix races or whatnot. We must assume, when writing drivers, that an interrupt will be delivered _immediately_ once request_irq() is called -- possibly even before request_irq() has returned its return code.
