commit 3719f4ff047e20062b8314c23ec3cab84d74c908 upstream. When scsi_add_host_with_dma() returns failure, the caller will call scsi_host_put(shost) to release everything allocated for this host instance. Consequently we can't also free allocated stuff in scsi_add_host_with_dma(), otherwise we will end up with a double free. Strictly speaking, host resource allocations should have been done in scsi_host_alloc(). However, the allocations may need information which is not yet provided by the driver when that function is called. So leave the allocations where they are but rely on host device's release handler to free resources.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
