Just a shot in the dark, but could we simply make whatever changes are necessary to make all sas-ata LLDDs managed and then use devm_kzalloc? Though (and I may be totally wrong here) if it's the case that devres_head is made (or not made) to be part of a list _only_ before we reach ata_probe_ent_alloc, we could put a similar if check into the free function. --D - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
