Subject: [PATCH] elevator: fix double release for elevator module
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2015 17:23:18 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <005701d07da7$364d9950$a2e8cbf0$@samsung.com> (raw)

Our issue is descripted in below call path:
->elevator_init
 ->elevator_init_fn
  ->{cfq,deadline,noop}_init_queue
   ->elevator_alloc
    ->kzalloc_node
   fail to call kzalloc_node and then put module in elevator_alloc;
fail to call elevator_init_fn and then put module again in elevator_init.

Remove elevator_put invoking in error path of elevator_alloc to avoid
double release issue.
