[PATCH 5.10 215/252] net/smc: remove device from smcd_dev_list after failed device_add()

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon May 31 2021 - 11:03:28 EST


From: Julian Wiedmann <jwi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 444d7be9532dcfda8e0385226c862fd7e986f607 ]

If the device_add() for a smcd_dev fails, there's no cleanup step that
rolls back the earlier list_add(). The device subsequently gets freed,
and we end up with a corrupted list.

Add some error handling that removes the device from the list.

Fixes: c6ba7c9ba43d ("net/smc: add base infrastructure for SMC-D and ISM")
