Prior to the introduction of es58x_free_netdevs(), unregister_candev() was called in the error handling of es58x_probe(): https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c?id=8537257874e949a59c834cecfd5a063e11b64b0b#n2234 > Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> > --- > drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c | 5 ++++- > 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) > > diff --git a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c > index 96a13c770e4a..41c721f2fbbe 100644 > --- a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c > +++ b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c > @@ -2098,8 +2098,11 @@ static int es58x_init_netdev(struct es58x_device *es58x_dev, int channel_idx) > netdev->flags |= IFF_ECHO; /* We support local echo */ > > ret = register_candev(netdev); > - if (ret) > + if (ret) { > + free_candev(netdev); > + es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] = NULL; A nitpick, but if you don’t mind, I would prefer to set es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] after register_candev() succeeds so that we do not have to reset it to NULL in the error handling. diff --git a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c index ce2b9e1ce3af..fb0daad9b9c8 100644 --- a/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c +++ b/drivers/net/can/usb/etas_es58x/es58x_core.c @@ -2091,18 +2091,20 @@ static int es58x_init_netdev(struct es58x_device *es58x_dev, int channel_idx) return -ENOMEM; } SET_NETDEV_DEV(netdev, dev); - es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] = netdev; es58x_init_priv(es58x_dev, es58x_priv(netdev), channel_idx); netdev->netdev_ops = &es58x_netdev_ops; netdev->flags |= IFF_ECHO; /* We support local echo */ ret = register_candev(netdev); - if (ret) + if (ret) { + free_candev(netdev); return ret; + } netdev_queue_set_dql_min_limit(netdev_get_tx_queue(netdev, 0), es58x_dev->param->dql_min_limit); + es58x_dev->netdev[channel_idx] = netdev; return ret; } > return ret; > + } > > netdev_queue_set_dql_min_limit(netdev_get_tx_queue(netdev, 0), > es58x_dev->param->dql_min_limit);
