The HMM_BO_DEVICE_INITED flag was being set in hmm_bo_device_init() before key initialization steps like kmem_cache_create(), kmem_cache_alloc(), and __bo_init(). This means that if any of these steps fail, the flag remains set, misleading other parts of the driver (e.g. hmm_bo_alloc()) into thinking the device is initialized. This could lead to undefined behavior or invalid memory use. Additionally, since __bo_init() is called from inside hmm_bo_device_init() after the flag was already set, its internal check for HMM_BO_DEVICE_INITED is redundant. - Move the flag assignment to the end after all allocations succeed. - Remove redundant check of the flag inside __bo_init() See the link [1] below for a backtrace which happens when deliberately triggering the problem of the flag getting set too early.

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 reStructuredText 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.
