Tonghao Zhang 8cc76433d8 PCI/MSI: Warn and return error if driver enables MSI/MSI-X twice
[ Upstream commit 4c1ef72e9b ]

It is a serious driver defect to enable MSI or MSI-X more than once.  Doing
so may panic the kernel as in the stack trace below:

  Call Trace:
    sysfs_add_one+0xa5/0xd0
    create_dir+0x7c/0xe0
    sysfs_create_subdir+0x1c/0x20
    internal_create_group+0x6d/0x290
    sysfs_create_groups+0x4a/0xa0

    uio_open+0xcc/0x120 [uio]
    chrdev_open+0xa1/0x1e0
    [...]
    do_sys_open+0xf3/0x1f0
    SyS_open+0x1e/0x20

    ---[ end trace 11042e2848880209 ]---
    Kernel panic - not syncing: stack-protector: Kernel stack is corrupted in: ffffffffa056b4fa

We want to keep the WARN_ON() and stack trace so the driver can be fixed,
but we can avoid the kernel panic by returning an error.  We may still get
warnings like this:

  Call Trace:
    pci_enable_msix+0x3c9/0x3e0
    igbuio_pci_open+0x72/0x300 [igb_uio]

    [...]
    do_sys_open+0xf3/0x1f0
    SyS_open+0x1e/0x20
    system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b

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

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
