If it's a fix for a patch that hasn't landed yet, please indicate this. A "Fixes: ..." tag should be added to this patch as well. I looked at linux.git/master commit f69d02e37a85645aa90d18cacfff36dba370f797 and see this: static int __init vhost_scsi_init(void) { int ret = -ENOMEM; pr_debug("TCM_VHOST fabric module %s on %s/%s" " on "UTS_RELEASE"\n", VHOST_SCSI_VERSION, utsname()->sysname, utsname()->machine); /* * Use our own dedicated workqueue for submitting I/O into * target core to avoid contention within system_wq. */ vhost_scsi_workqueue = alloc_workqueue("vhost_scsi", 0, 0); if (!vhost_scsi_workqueue) goto out; We need ret's initialization value here ^ ret = vhost_scsi_register(); if (ret < 0) goto out_destroy_workqueue; ret = target_register_template(&vhost_scsi_ops); if (ret < 0) goto out_vhost_scsi_deregister; return 0; out_vhost_scsi_deregister: vhost_scsi_deregister(); out_destroy_workqueue: destroy_workqueue(vhost_scsi_workqueue); out: return ret; }; > > diff --git a/drivers/vhost/scsi.c b/drivers/vhost/scsi.c > index d16c04dcc144..9129ab8187fd 100644 > --- a/drivers/vhost/scsi.c > +++ b/drivers/vhost/scsi.c > @@ -2465,7 +2465,7 @@ static const struct target_core_fabric_ops vhost_scsi_ops = { > > static int __init vhost_scsi_init(void) > { > - int ret = -ENOMEM; > + int ret; > > pr_debug("TCM_VHOST fabric module %s on %s/%s" > " on "UTS_RELEASE"\n", VHOST_SCSI_VERSION, utsname()->sysname, > -- > 2.30.0 >
