If an error occurs in mlx4_init_eq_table the index used in the

You are right, but your change below does not cover all cases.
The full solution looks like this:

@@ -1260,7 +1260,7 @@ int mlx4_init_eq_table(struct mlx4_dev *dev)
                                              eq);
                 }
                 if (err)
-                       goto err_out_unmap;
+                       goto err_out_unmap_excluded;
In this case a call to mlx4_create_eq failed. Do you really have to call
mlx4_free_eq for this index again?
We agree on this part, that's why here we should goto the _excluded_ label.
For all other parts, we should not exclude the eq in the highest index, and thus we goto the _non_excluded_ label.
  As far as I understood this code
mlx4_create_eq cleans up when it fails and thus there is no need for an
additional mlx4_free_eq call.
