Re: [PATCH] block: add put_device() call when device_add() fails in device_add_disk()

Hi,

在 2024/02/22 6:01, Alfredo Cruz 写道:
When device_add() fails, put_device() should called for cleanup.
Added this call before the jump to out_free_ext_minor to not
interfere with device_del() on error paths where deivce_add() succeeded

This is wrong, gendisk is allocated by caller, and caller is responsible
to free the gendisk, as you can see in many callers.

Thanks,

ret = disk_alloc_events(disk);
  	if (ret)
