[PATCH] scsi: elx: libefc: fix resources leak in efcport_init() error path

From: Haotian Zhang

Date: Thu Oct 08 2026 - 14:56:33 EST


efcport_init() creates efc->node_pool and efc->node_dma_pool before
allocating efc->els_io_pool. When the latter allocation fails it returns
-ENOMEM without releasing the node dma pool or the node pool, leaking
both. The caller efct_efclib_config() only logs the error and
efct_device_attach() failure path never calls efcport_destroy(), so the
resources are never freed.

Destroy node_dma_pool and node_pool before returning from the
els_io_pool allocation failure path.
