From: Wu Bo <wubo40@xxxxxxxxxx> If cache_alloc() get error when register a cache device, the ca->kobj is not initialized, the bch_cache_release() no chance to be called. So "ca" object will not be released. In addition, if register_cache_set() return failed when register a cache device, kobject_put(&ca->kobj) will be called and "ca" objects will be released in bch_cache_release() function. But pr_notice() called after kobject_put(&ca->kobj), the "ca->cache_dev_name" access memory that has been freed.
