[PATCH] vdpa/ifcvf: handle dev_set_name() failure in ifcvf_vdpa_dev_add()
From: Evgenii Burenchev
Date: Thu Feb 26 2026 - 10:39:07 EST
dev_set_name() may fail and return an error, but its return value
is currently ignored and overwritten by _vdpa_register_device().
Abort device creation if dev_set_name() fails and release the
device reference to avoid continuing with an improperly initialized
struct device.
Found by Linux Verification Center (linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
