This whole peer_dev/aux_dev split needs to go, why on earth does peer_obj need an entire state machine for driver binding? This is what the aux device and driver core or supposed to provide. > + abo = kzalloc(sizeof(*abo), GFP_KERNEL); > + if (!abo) { > + ida_simple_remove(&ice_peer_ida, id); > + kfree(peer_obj_int); > + return -ENOMEM; > + } Put the auxiliary_device_init() directly after kzalloc. Even better is to put everything up to the kzalloc/auxiliary_device_init() into a function called 'alloc_aux_device' Then all the error unwind here doesn't look so bad Jason
