You should mention the function name which you are referring to. Here it is,
pci_endpoint_test_request_irq().

This is confusing. Are you saying that the previously requested IRQs are not
freed when an error happens during the for loop in
pci_endpoint_test_request_irq()?

When did you encounter this WARN?

First of all, using devm_request_irq() is wrong here as
pci_endpoint_test_request_irq() might be called multiple times by the userspace.
So we cannot use managed version of request_irq(). It is infact pointless since
pci_endpoint_test_clear_irq() would free them anyway. Instead we should just use
request_irq() and call pci_endpoint_test_clear_irq() in the error path as like
this patch does.

But this should be a separate patch.
