If nd_integrity_init() fails we'd get del_gendisk() called, but that's not correct as we should only call that if we're done with device_add_disk(). Fix this by providing unwinding prior to the devm call being registered and moving the devm registration to the very end. This should fix calling del_gendisk() if nd_integrity_init() fails. I only spotted this issue through code inspection. It does not fix any real world bug.Looks good, Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Should this grow a Fixes tag for the commit adding the problem?
Given this driver is going to be removed, do we care? The only reason I re-added the patch was Dan could not remove the driver on time. Luis
