[PATCH] scsi: mvme16x: put SCSI host on remove
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Fri Sep 18 2026 - 13:29:30 EST
mvme16x_probe() obtains a SCSI host through NCR_700_detect(). The
probe failure path drops the host reference with scsi_host_put(), but
the normal remove path does not perform the corresponding cleanup.
As a result, the SCSI host reference remains allocated after the
driver is removed.
Call scsi_host_put() after all users of the SCSI host have been torn
down to release the reference acquired during probe.
This issue was found by manual code inspection.
