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

---[ 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

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.
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.
