From: Tobin C. Harding <tobin@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 450ff8348808a89cc27436771aa05c2b90c0eef1 upstream. If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we must call kobject_put() otherwise we leak memory. Calling kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add() fails drops the refcount back to 0 and calls the ktype release method (which in turn calls the percpu destroy and kfree). Add call to kobject_put() in the error path of call to kobject_init_and_add(). Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx # v4.4+ Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
