When ida_alloc() fails, "pi" is not freed although the misleading
comment says otherwise.
Move the ida_alloc() call up so we really don't have to free it.

Certainly you meant: "so we really do free it in case of error.", no ?

Same comment as Sergey: isn't this going to do the ida free ? So shouldn't you
return here ?

I meant "so we don't have to free pi in case of ida_alloc failure".

No. device_unregister() calls pata_parport_dev_release() which does only kfree(pi), not ida_free(). But it probably should do ida_free() too.

That is better. Please rephrase the commit message to this.

Yes, it should, otherwise you are leaking the ida with the normal (no errors)
case. Care to send a fix for that too ?

Yes, I'll send it as soon as I fix a problem that I noticed during testing. The ida is never freed with this fix. And neither "pi" because pata_parport_dev_release is never called (confirmed by adding printk).
