[PATCH] RDMA/srp: Fix error handling in srp_add_port
From: Ma Ke
Date: Tue Dec 17 2024 - 02:56:35 EST
The reference count of the device incremented in device_initialize() is
not decremented when device_add() fails. Add a put_device() call before
returning from the function to decrement reference count for cleanup.
Or it could cause memory leak.
As comment of device_add() says, if device_add() succeeds, you should
call device_del() when you want to get rid of it. If device_add() has
not succeeded, use only put_device() to drop the reference count.
Found by code review.
