[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.1 70/70] ocfs2: fix error path kobject memory leak

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

 



From: "Tobin C. Harding" <tobin@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit b9fba67b3806e21b98bd5a98dc3921a8e9b42d61 ]

If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we should call kobject_put()
otherwise we leak memory.

Add call to kobject_put() in the error path of call to
kobject_init_and_add().  Please note, this has the side effect that the
release method is called if kobject_init_and_add() fails.
