Are you sure the if-test is useful? Did you perhaps want to check sdp->sdev_state like scsi_device_get() does? > sdkp->dev.parent = dev; > sdkp->dev.class = &sd_disk_class; > dev_set_name(&sdkp->dev, "%s", dev_name(dev)); > @@ -3407,7 +3411,6 @@ static int sd_probe(struct device *dev) > if (error) > goto out_free_index; > > - get_device(dev); > dev_set_drvdata(dev, sdkp); > > get_device(&sdkp->dev); /* prevent release before async_schedule */ Since the get_device() call has been moved up, are there any error paths that have to be adjusted?
