[PATCH] efi/efivars: Add missing kobject_put() in sysfs entry creation error path

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

 



The documentation provided by kobject_init_and_add() clearly spells out
the need to call kobject_put() on the kobject if an error is returned.
Add this missing call to the error path.
