Subject: [PATCH] scsi: sd: call device_del() if device_add_disk() fails
Date: Tue, 29 Mar 2022 17:49:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220329154948.10350-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com> (raw)
In sd_probe(), if device_add_disk() fails it simply calls put_device()
and jumps to the "out" label but the device is never deleted from system.
This leads to a memory leak as reported by Syzbot.[1]
Fix this bug by calling device_del() soon before put_device() when
device_add_disk() fails.

This patch replace the previous attempt to fix the bug reported by
Syzbot. Therefore, the previous wrong patch at
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220328084452.11479-1-fmdefrancesco@gmail.com/
must be discarded.
Many thanks to Dan Carpenter.
