In the lines above this test, 8 'kzalloc' are performed, but only 7 results
are tested.

Add the missing one (i.e. '!ioc->port_enable_cmds.reply').

obviously it is better to follow the pattern "malloc() , check".
Agreed, but it is also more verbose. Leavig it as-is, is IMHO, good enough.

Even the programmer lost track.

Bonus points if you malloc the buffers in one step.
Most of the allocation are 'kzalloc(ioc->reply_sz, GFP_KERNEL);', so a kcalloc could be used instead. However, the 'kzalloc(SCSI_SENSE_BUFFERSIZE, GFP_KERNEL);' breaks this logic and allocating all at once would lead to spaghetti code for no reason.

Moreover, I don't have any idea how big can be 'ioc->reply_sz', even if I guess it should be small.
So allocating all at once, could fail where several steps would work.

So I won't play for the bonus points :).

Best regards.

just my 2 cents,
