> In function add_port(), pointer p is not released in error paths.
1. I would prefer to describe that an ib_port data structure was not released
in some error cases.
How relevant can its size be here?
> Fix this issue by adding a kfree(p) into the end of error path.
2. I suggest to improve also this change description.
3. I find an other subject more appropriate.

4. I recommend to add also the label “free_port” before the missed function call.
Another source code place should be accordingly adjusted then.
ret = kobject_init_and_add(&p->kobj, &port_type,
coredev->ports_kobj,
"%d", port_num);
- if (ret) {
- kfree(p);
- return ret;
- }
+ if (ret)
+ goto free_port;
5. Will a similar adjustment be needed for the data structure member “gid_attr_group”
according to the desired complete exception handling?
