From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 4ebe36c94aed95de71a8ce6a6762226d31c938ee ] Currently the error return path from kobject_init_and_add() is not followed by a call to kobject_put() - which means we are leaking the kobject. Fix it by adding a call to kobject_put() in the error path of kobject_init_and_add(). Signed-off-by: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Tobin C.
