The "unregister" label looks poorly named. We only get there if device_register() *failed*. We shouldn't need to unregister anything in that case. > free: > kfree(bus); > @@ -3037,13 +3037,9 @@ struct pci_bus *pci_create_root_bus(struct device *parent, int bus, > > error = pci_register_host_bridge(bridge); > if (error < 0) > - goto err_out; > + return NULL; > > return bridge->bus; > - > -err_out: > - put_device(&bridge->dev); > - return NULL; This part looks right to me. The get_device() is in pci_register_host_bridge(), and if pci_register_host_bridge() returns failure, I think it should first do the corresponding put_device(). > } > EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(pci_create_root_bus); > > -- > 2.25.1 >
