Add a check for kcalloc() to ensure successful allocation.
Moreover, add kfree() in the error-handling path to prevent memory leaks.

Also, any reasons not to use devm_kcalloc()? This would be the correct approach as of today as long as the lifetime of the device is known. Thanks, Miquèl

Could you add a single 'if' for all of them here instead? And goto
single free.

Mater of taste, but I think that having an explicit return here would be

I think that in all these paths, you should also have
cxt->XXXmap = NULL;
after the kfree().
otherwise when mtdpstore_notify_remove() is called, you could have a
double free.

Yes, drop the whole end.

Right, and this is already a problem for failing
register_pstore_device() in _add() -- there is unconditional
unregister_pstore_device() in _remove(). Should _remove() check cxt->mtd
first?

Not sure it is needed.
IIUC, [1] would not match in this case, because [2] would not have been
executed. Agreed?

Thanks for your advice.
I have submitted a v3 to replace kcalloc() with devm_kcalloc() to
prevent memory leaks.
Moreover, I moved the return value check to another patch, so that
each patch does only one thing.

[2/2] mtd: Add check for devm_kcalloc()
commit: d132814fd6fd2ecb3618577f266611ca10d67611
Patche(s) should be available on mtd/linux.git and will be
part of the next PR (provided that no robot complains by then).
Kind regards,
Miquèl
