In case of an early failure in dasd_init, dasd_proc_init is never
called and /proc/dasd* files are never created. That can happen, for
example, if an incompatible or incorrect argument is provided to the
dasd_mod.dasd= kernel parameter.
However, the attempted removal of /proc/dasd* files causes 8 warnings
and backtraces in this case. 4 on the error path within dasd_init and
4 when the dasd module is unloaded. Notice the "removing permanent
/proc entry 'devices'" message that is caused by the dasd_proc_exit
function trying to remove /proc/devices instead of /proc/dasd/devices
since dasd_proc_root_entry is NULL and /proc/devices is indeed
permanent. Example:

While the cause is a user failure, the dasd module should handle the
situation more gracefully. One of the simplest solutions is to make
removal of the /proc/dasd* entries idempotent.
