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; }

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;
