3.16.50-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Bodo Stroesser <bstroes...@ts.fujitsu.com>
commit 180efde0a3f43dbe533e4be203c2918793482d4e upstream.
If blk_queue_get() in st_probe fails, disk->queue must not be set to
SDp->request_queue, as that would result in put_disk() dropping a not
taken reference.
Thus, disk->queue should be set only after a successful blk_queue_get().
Fixes: 2b5bebccd282 ("st: Take additional queue ref in st_probe")
