In ata_host_alloc(), if ata_port_alloc(host) fails to allocate memory
for a port, the allocated 'host' structure is not freed before returning
from the function. This results in a potential memory leak.

This patch adds a kfree(host) before the error handling code is executed
to ensure that the 'host' structure is properly freed in case of an
allocation failure.

I did not receive this patch and I do not see it on the list either. Something
went wrong...
Can you resend please ? Thanks.

Looks correct, dev_set_drvdata(dev, host) is not called yet.
ata_devres_release won't free host in this case.

I'll suggest to return NULL directly here, and then the 'err_out'
tag can be removed as well.

I do not think so. Since devres_open_group() was called, need to call either
devres_remove_group() or devres_release_group().

Yes, you're right.

Thanks,
Kuai



Anyway, with or without the cleanup:

Thanks!
devres_add(dev, dr);
   	dev_set_drvdata(dev, host);
