From 3f9a5aabd0a9fe0e0cd308506f48963d79169aa7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivek Goyal Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2012 20:03:38 +0100 Subject: floppy: Cleanup disk->queue before caling put_disk() if add_disk() was never called add_disk() takes gendisk reference on request queue. If driver failed during initialization and never called add_disk() then that extra reference is not taken. That reference is put in put_disk(). floppy driver allocates the disk, allocates queue, sets disk->queue and then relizes that floppy controller is not present. It tries to tear down everything and tries to put a reference down in put_disk() which was never taken. In such error cases cleanup disk->queue before calling put_disk() so that we never try to put down a reference which was never taken in first place.
