Right, it's intentional and fine. The concern previously was re-probing the mdev when a device had gone into a non-recoverable state and the private data was left hanging around. With the private now being cleaned up in mdev_remove instead of the subchannel side, that's no longer an issue. > > > + private = vfio_ccw_alloc_private(sch); > > + if (!private) > > + return -ENOMEM; > > > > ret = vfio_init_device(&private->vdev, &mdev->dev, > > &vfio_ccw_dev_ops); > > - if (ret) > > + if (ret) { > > + kfree(private); > > return ret; > > + } > > + > > + dev_set_drvdata(&parent->dev, private); > > > > VFIO_CCW_MSG_EVENT(2, "sch %x.%x.%04x: create\n", > > sch->schid.cssid, > > @@ -123,6 +128,7 @@ static int vfio_ccw_mdev_probe(struct > > mdev_device > > *mdev) > > return 0; > > > > err_put_vdev: > > + dev_set_drvdata(&parent->dev, NULL); > > No need to set drvdata to NULL, iiuc Fair.
