A memory leak will occur then because the function “nbd_config_put” will free “config->socks” only when “num_connections” is not zero. Would you like to add an imperative wording to the commit message? https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst?id=625d3449788f85569096780592549d0340e9c0c7#n151 Regards, Markus
