A simple call graph shown as below: floppy_module_init() floppy_init() do_floppy_init() for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++) blk_mq_alloc_tag_set() blk_mq_alloc_tag_set_tags() blk_mq_realloc_tag_set_tags() # set->tag allocated floppy_alloc_disk() blk_mq_alloc_disk() # error occurred, disks failed to allocated ->out_put_disk: for (drive = 0; drive < N_DRIVE; drive++) if (!disks[drive][0]) # the last disks is not set and loop break break; blk_mq_free_tag_set() # the latest allocated set->tag leaked Fix this problem by free the set->tag of current drive before jump to error handling path.
