__register_blkdev() is used to register a probe callback, and that callback is typically used to call add_disk(). Now that we are able to capture errors for add_disk(), we need to fix those probe calls where add_disk() fails and clean up resources. We don't extend the probe call to return the error given: 1) we'd have to always special-case the case where the disk was already present, as otherwise concurrent requests to open an existing block device would fail, and this would be a userspace visible change 2) the error from ilookup() on blkdev_get_no_open() is sufficient 3) The only thing the probe call is used for is to support pre-devtmpfs, pre-udev semantics that want to create disks when their pre-created device node is accessed, and so we don't care for failures on probe there. Expand documentation for the probe callback to ensure users cleanup resources if add_disk() is used and to clarify this interface may be removed in the future.

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.
