In case that ramoops_init_przs failed, max_dump_cnt won't be reset to
zero in error handle path.

This will have no effect. If cxt->przs == NULL, ramoops_free_przs will
immediately exit too, not hitting your max_dump_cnt = 0 change.
Perhaps move the =0 in that function to the top before the check and
return?
Yes, you are right. Below has the latest patch which move the =0 to the
top of that function, just as you mentioned. Thanks.

Otherwise,  yes, once fixed, this clean-up looks good -- it keeps the
variable initialization and cleanup all in ramoops_init_przs() which
is how it should be.

Thanks!
