The caller doesn't know where device_add_disk failed, and calling del_gendisk unconditionally like virtio_blk does is probably not the right thing to do (at the very least, I don't think unregistering a device that has not been registered is likely to work). _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
