Subject: [PATCH] scsi: sd: fix error handling for sd_large_pool_create() call failure
Date: Tue, 7 Jul 2026 11:55:55 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260707105555.1382237-1-john.garry@linux.dev> (raw)
If the sd_probe() -> sd_large_pool_create() call fails, then we incorrectly
unwind the probe actions.
Currently for the sd_large_pool_create() failure we do no undo the
device_add() call.
Fix this by mimicking the handling of device_add_disk() failure, in calling
device_unregister() and put_disk(). The device_unregister() call will
result in scsi_disk_release() being called, which unwinds many actions in
sd_probe().
Fixes: 7179e626b76e ("scsi: sd: Enable sector size > PAGE_SIZE in SCSI sd driver")

I do wonder if it is simpler to always create this pool when we can
support LBS. We only create a min of two elements in the pool, so
hardly large.
