I suggest to reconsider also Linux coding style aspects
for the implementation of the function “init”.
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v5.8-rc4/source/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c#L980
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/scsi/virtio_scsi.c?id=42f82040ee66db13525dc6f14b8559890b2f4c1c#n980

if (!virtscsi_cmd_cache) {
pr_err("kmem_cache_create() for virtscsi_cmd_cache failed\n");
- goto error;
+ return -ENOMEM;
}

> executing a couple more instruction is not an issue.

With which update steps would like to achieve such a code variant?

destroy_pool:
mempool_destroy(virtscsi_cmd_pool);
virtscsi_cmd_pool = NULL;
destroy_cache:
kmem_cache_destroy(virtscsi_cmd_cache);
virtscsi_cmd_cache = NULL;
return ret;


Regards,
Markus
