[PATCH 5.7 47/79] firmware: Fix a reference count leak.

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

 



From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit fe3c60684377d5ad9b0569b87ed3e26e12c8173b ]

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Callback function fw_cfg_sysfs_release_entry() in kobject_put()
can handle the pointer "entry" properly.
