Damian Muszynski 902caff5a7 crypto: qat - add sysfs_added flag for rate limiting 
[ Upstream commit d71fdd0f3c ]

The qat_rl sysfs attribute group is registered within the adf_dev_start()
function, alongside other driver components.
If any of the functions preceding the group registration fails,
the adf_dev_start() function returns, and the caller, to undo the
operation, invokes adf_dev_stop() followed by adf_dev_shutdown().
However, the current flow lacks information about whether the
registration of the qat_rl attribute group was successful or not.

In cases where this condition is encountered, an error similar to
the following might be reported:

    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Starting device qat_dev0
    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: qat_dev0 started 9 acceleration engines
    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Failed to send init message
    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Failed to start device qat_dev0
    sysfs group 'qat_rl' not found for kobject '0000:6b:00.0'
    ...
    sysfs_remove_groups+0x2d/0x50
    adf_sysfs_rl_rm+0x44/0x70 [intel_qat]
    adf_rl_stop+0x2d/0xb0 [intel_qat]
    adf_dev_stop+0x33/0x1d0 [intel_qat]
    adf_dev_down+0xf1/0x150 [intel_qat]
    ...
    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: qat_dev0 stopped 9 acceleration engines
    4xxx 0000:6b:00.0: Resetting device qat_dev0

To prevent attempting to remove attributes from a group that has not
been added yet, a flag named 'sysfs_added' is introduced. This flag
is set to true upon the successful registration of the attribute group.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
