Avoid that kmemleak reports the following memory leak if a SCSI LLD calls scsi_host_alloc() and scsi_host_put() but neither scsi_host_add() nor scsi_host_remove(). The following shell command triggers that scenario: for ((i=0; i<2; i++)); do srp_daemon -oac | while read line; do echo $line >/sys/class/infiniband_srp/srp-mlx4_0-1/add_target done done unreferenced object 0xffff88021b24a220 (size 8): comm "srp_daemon", pid 56421, jiffies 4295006762 (age 4240.750s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 68 6f 73 74 35 38 00 a5 host58.. backtrace: [<ffffffff8151014a>] kmemleak_alloc+0x7a/0xc0 [<ffffffff81165c1e>] __kmalloc_track_caller+0xfe/0x160 [<ffffffff81260d2b>] kvasprintf+0x5b/0x90 [<ffffffff81260e2d>] kvasprintf_const+0x8d/0xb0 [<ffffffff81254b0c>] kobject_set_name_vargs+0x3c/0xa0 [<ffffffff81337e3c>] dev_set_name+0x3c/0x40 [<ffffffff81355757>] scsi_host_alloc+0x327/0x4b0 [<ffffffffa03edc8e>] srp_create_target+0x4e/0x8a0 [ib_srp] [<ffffffff8133778b>] dev_attr_store+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff811f27fa>] sysfs_kf_write+0x4a/0x60 [<ffffffff811f1e8e>] kernfs_fop_write+0x14e/0x180 [<ffffffff81176eef>] __vfs_write+0x2f/0xf0 [<ffffffff811771e4>] vfs_write+0xa4/0x100 [<ffffffff81177c64>] SyS_write+0x54/0xc0 [<ffffffff8151b257>] entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x12/0x6f Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@sandisk.com> Reviewed-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Sagi Grimberg <sagig@mellanox.com> Reviewed-by: Lee Duncan <lduncan@suse.com> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Martin K.
