Hi, in st_probe(), st.c I stumbled across what I'd call a minor problem. So I'd like to suggest the following patch. Best Regards, Bodo P.S.: Please CC me, I'm not on the list. --------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroesser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:35:00 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] sg: fix blk_get_queue usage If blk_queue_get() in st_probe fails, disk->queue must not be set to SDp->request_queue, as that would result in put_disk() dropping a not taken reference. Thus, disk->queue should be set only after a successful blk_queue_get().
