Yes, for runtime disk configuration, we allocate the device in nullb_group_make_item and free the device in nullb_device_release. the nullb_device_power_store only does null_add_dev/null_del_dev, not allocate/free dev. > Also, looks like the second else if in there should be using > 'dev' instead of to_nullb_device(item)->power. Ah, yes, it should be 'dev->power'. dev == to_nullb_device(item). Do you want me to send a separate patch to do the cleanup? Thanks, Shaohua
