Actually that's OK - the contract of the 'volCreate' method in the backend does not require free'ing of the 'vol' object upon failure. Becaue 'vol' is passed in pre-allocated, it is the caller's responsibilty to release the 'vol' object upon failure. So the cleanup code in the loop driver only needs to cleanup mess it made itself - eg releasing the loop device and closing the fd.

Ah... got it, now. Thanks.
