I think, ib_free_cq(gsi->cq); kfree(gsi->outstanding_wrs); kfree(gsi->tx_qps); should also be put before return ret before Line 180. If this is a real bug, I can send a patch. Thanks!

The ib_destroy_qp() is function that destroys kernel QP that in our
memory model shouldn't fail. The patch that converts ib_destroy_qp()
to be void is very welcomed.

See ib_destroy_srq() as an example of expected function format.

Thanks
