The device is got by isert_device_get() with refcount is 1, and is assigned to isert_conn by isert_conn->device = device. When isert_create_qp() failed, device will be freed with isert_device_put(). Later, the device is used in isert_free_login_buf(isert_conn) by the isert_conn->device->ib_device statement. My patch exchanges the callees order to free the device late.
