From 5abb065dca7301de90b7c44bbcdc378e49e4d362 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Borislav Petkov Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2021 22:28:14 +0100 Subject: notifier: Return an error when a callback has already been registered Return -EEXIST when a notifier callback has already been registered on a notifier chain. This should avoid any homegrown registration tracking at the callsite like https://lore.kernel.org/amd-gfx/20210512013058.6827-1-mukul.joshi@amd.com for example. This version is an alternative of https://lore.kernel.org/r/20211108101157.15189-1-bp@alien8.de which needed to touch every caller not checking the registration routine's return value.
