If srp_connect_ch() returns a positive value then that is considered by its caller as a connection failure but this does not result in a scsi_host_put() call and additionally causes the srp_create_target() function to return a positive value while it should return a negative value. Avoid all this confusion and additionally fix a memory leak by ensuring that srp_connect_ch() always returns a value that is <= 0. This patch avoids that a rejected login triggers the following memory leak: unreferenced object 0xffff88021b24a220 (size 8): comm "srp_daemon", pid 56421, jiffies 4295006762 (age 4240.750s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 68 6f 73 74 35 38 00 a5 host58.. backtrace: [<ffffffff8151014a>] kmemleak_alloc+0x7a/0xc0 [<ffffffff81165c1e>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0xfe/0x160 [<ffffffff81260d2b>] kvasprintf+0x5b/0x90 [<ffffffff81260e2d>] kvasprintf_const+0x8d/0xb0 [<ffffffff81254b0c>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x3c/0xa0 [<ffffffff81337e3c>] dev_set_name+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff81355757>] scsi_host_alloc+0x327/0x4b0 [<ffffffffa03edc8e>] srp_create_target+0x4e/0x8a0 [ib_srp] [<ffffffff8133778b>] dev_attr_store+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff811f27fa>] sysfs_kf_write+0x4a/0x60 [<ffffffff811f1e8e>] kernfs_fop_write+0x14e/0x180 [<ffffffff81176eef>] __vfs_write+0x2f/0xf0 [<ffffffff811771e4>] vfs_write+0xa4/0x100 [<ffffffff81177c64>] SyS_write+0x54/0xc0 [<ffffffff8151b257>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6f Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Sebastian Parschauer <sebastian.riemer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Cc: stable <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
