Again, please align the struct members.

Please use kzalloc and get rid of zero initialization. If you add stuff to the
struct then initialization will be automatically 0.

Why do you need that iterator? 

    db = container_of(dbinfo, struct ....., info);

Hmm?

Please move the kfree() outside of the lock region. It does not matter much
here, but we really should stop doing random crap in locked regions.

Thanks,
