[PATCH for-rc 2/2] IB/hfi1: Call kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add() fails

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

 



From: Kaike Wan <kaike.wan@xxxxxxxxx>

When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error in the function
hfi1_create_port_files(), the function kobject_put() is not called for
the corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak.

This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if
kobject_init_and_add() fails.
