Subject: [PATCH] floppy: register the block major after the disks are added
Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 17:27:05 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261010132705.1693690-1-efremov@linux.com> (raw)
do_floppy_init() registers the block major, and with it floppy_probe(),
before it has detected the controllers and added disks[drive][0]. Once
a controller is found, opening a device node for another media format
makes floppy_probe() add disks[drive][type]. If init then fails, the
error path removes only disks[drive][0] and frees the tag sets, leaving
the probed disks registered on top of freed memory.
add_disk() does not need the major, so register it last. floppy_probe()
can then only run once init has succeeded.
Fixes: 302cfee15029 ("floppy: use a separate gendisk for each media format")
