Subject: [RESEND][2.6.39-rc PATCH] [SCSI] scsi_dh: fix reference counting in scsi_dh_activate error path
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2011 15:05:36 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110408190536.GA11001@redhat.com> (raw)
Commit db422318cbca55168cf965f655471dbf8be82433 ([SCSI] scsi_dh:
propagate SCSI device deletion) introduced a regression where the device
reference is not dropped prior to scsi_dh_activate's early return from
the error path.

(I embedded this fix in another scsi_dh_emc thread on 3/21 so figured I'd resend to
get it back on the radar)
