> So we do not really know if we need to clean up or not. We always know, the answer is that whenever register_netdev() fails we never need to perform any cleanup which is done by priv_destructor. > Any idea how to fix the issue ? Your patch is exactly how we should fix this, but without the comment. The logic is straightforward. If register_netdevice() fails any resources handled by priv_destructor are cleaned up, it is guaranteed.
