When accidentally passing twice the same tag to qemu, kmemleak ended up
reporting a memory leak in virtiofs.  Also, looking at the log I saw the
following error (that's when I realised the duplicated tag):

  virtiofs: probe of virtio5 failed with error -17

Here's the kmemleak log for reference:

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the report and the fix. So looks like leak is happening
because we are not doing kfree(fs->vqs) in error path.

[ CC virtio-fs list ]

fs object is not fully formed. So calling virtio_fs_put() is little odd.
I will expect it to be called if somebody takes a reference using _get()
or in the final virtio_fs_remove() when creation reference should go
away.

How about open coding it and free fs->vqs explicitly. Something like
as follows.

@@ -896,7 +896,7 @@ static int virtio_fs_probe(struct virtio
 out_vqs:
        vdev->config->reset(vdev);
        virtio_fs_cleanup_vqs(vdev, fs);
-
+       kfree(fs->vqs);
 out:
        vdev->priv = NULL;
        kfree(fs);

Thanks
Vivek

Oops, forgot to include it.  Maybe it should be added to the MAINTAINERS
file (although IIRC it's not an open list).

Ok, I'll send v2 later (I'm currently away from my devel workstation).  To
be honest, my initial version was doing exactly what you're suggesting.  I
decided to change to virtio_fs_put() because the refcount was already
initialised early in the function.  Bad decision.
