NAK. even device_register fail,it will have one ref hold, and put_device(&bridge->dev) it will trigger bridge->dev.release aka pci_release_host_bridge_dev; that function will free the bridge. You will have double free. Please check commit log for sure. commit 343df771e671d821478dd3ef525a0610b808dbf8 Author: Jiang Liu <liuj97@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Jun 7 01:10:08 2013 +0800 PCI: Fix refcount issue in pci_create_root_bus() error recovery path After calling device_register(&bridge->dev), the bridge is reference- counted, and it is illegal to call kfree() on it except in the release function.
