Subject: [PATCH v2 5/5] scsi: elx: efct: destroy the mailbox pools when setup fails
Date: Thu, 6 Aug 2026 20:22:05 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260806202205.345326-6-ali@iusegentoo.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260806192345.328621-1-ali@iusegentoo.com>
efct_hw_setup() creates two mempools and then calls sli_setup(). Both of
its error paths return without destroying what it already created:
hw->cmd_ctx_pool = mempool_create_kmalloc_pool(...);
if (!hw->cmd_ctx_pool)
return -EIO;
hw->mbox_rqst_pool = mempool_create_kmalloc_pool(...);
if (!hw->mbox_rqst_pool)
return -EIO;
...
if (sli_setup(&hw->sli, hw->os, pdev, ((struct efct *)os)->reg))
return -EIO;
mempool_destroy() for these two runs only in efct_hw_teardown(), which is
not reached here. efct_hw_setup() is called from
efct_device_interrupts_required(), and when it fails efct_pci_probe()
unwinds through efct_device_free(), freeing the struct efct that held the
only pointers to the pools.
Destroy them on the way out, and clear hw_setup_called so that a later
call does not take the early return and hand the caller a half configured
hw.
Reproduced by binding the driver to a PCI device that is not an SLI-4
adapter, so sli_setup() fails, and repeating the probe 61 times. Before,
with CONFIG_DEBUG_KMEMLEAK:
unreferenced object 0xffff888008449680 (size 96):
comm "init", pid 1
backtrace:
__kmalloc_cache_node_noprof+0x3b9/0x430
mempool_create_node_noprof+0x78/0xe0
efct_hw_setup+0x1db/0xb50
efct_pci_probe+0x3cb/0x6dd
local_pci_probe+0xd4/0x170
1566 objects in total, every one of them from efct_hw_setup(). After the
change the same run reports none, and the probe still fails the same way.
Fixes: 4df84e846624 ("scsi: elx: efct: Driver initialization routines")
