[PATCH AUTOSEL 4.19 134/172] vfio/mdev: Fix reference count leak in add_mdev_supported_type

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit aa8ba13cae3134b8ef1c1b6879f66372531da738 ]

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Thus,
replace kfree() by kobject_put() to fix this issue. Previous
commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.
