[PATCH 3/6] floppy: avoid leaking extra reference to queue on do_floppy_init error handling

From: Herton Ronaldo Krzesinski
Date: Thu Aug 09 2012 - 16:00:06 EST


After commit 3f9a5aa ("floppy: Cleanup disk->queue before caling
put_disk() if add_disk() was never called"), if something fails in the
add_disk loop, we unconditionally set disks[dr]->queue to NULL. But
that's wrong, since we may have succesfully done an add_disk on some of
the drives previously in the loop, and in this case we would end up with
an extra reference to the disks[dr]->queue.

Add a new global array to mark "registered" disks, and use that to check
if we did an add_disk on one of the disks already. Using an array to
track added disks also will help to simplify/cleanup code later, as
suggested by Vivek Goyal.
