virtio_net ?

# modprobe virtio_mem <-- failed
virtio_mem: probe of virtio4 failed with error -16

The root cause of the problem is that the virtqueues are not
stopped on the error handling path when virtio_mem_init()
fails in virtio_mem_probe(), resulting in an error "-ENOENT"
returned in the next modprobe call in setup_vq().

virtio_pci_modern_device uses virtqueues to send or
receive message, and "queue_enable" records whether the
queues are available. In vp_modern_find_vqs(), all queues
will be selected and activated, but once queues are enabled
there is no way to go back except reset.

Fix it by reset virtio device on error handling path. After
virtio_mem_init_vq() succeeded, all virtqueues should be
stopped on error handling path.

Fixes: 1fcf0512c9c8 ("virtio_pci: modern driver")

That commit is from 2014. virtio-mem was merged in 2020

Fixes: 5f1f79bbc9e2 ("virtio-mem: Paravirtualized memory hotplug")
