[PATCH net] net/smc: remove device from smcd_dev_list after failed device_add()

From: Karsten Graul <hidden>
Date: 2021-05-17 08:47:26
Also in: linux-s390
Subsystem: networking [general], shared memory communications (smc) sockets, the rest · Maintainers: "David S. Miller", Eric Dumazet, Jakub Kicinski, Paolo Abeni, D. Wythe, Dust Li, Sidraya Jayagond, Wenjia Zhang, Linus Torvalds

From: Julian Wiedmann <redacted>

If the device_add() for a smcd_dev fails, there's no cleanup step that
rolls back the earlier list_add(). The device subsequently gets freed,
and we end up with a corrupted list.

Add some error handling that removes the device from the list.

Fixes: c6ba7c9ba43d ("net/smc: add base infrastructure for SMC-D and ISM")
