From: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8fd0c1b0647a6bda4067ee0cd61e8395954b6f28 ] My local syzbot instance hit memory leak in nilfs2. The problem was in missing kobject_put() in nilfs_sysfs_delete_device_group(). kobject_del() does not call kobject_cleanup() for passed kobject and it leads to leaking duped kobject name if kobject_put() was not called. Fail log: BUG: memory leak unreferenced object 0xffff8880596171e0 (size 8): comm "syz-executor379", pid 8381, jiffies 4294980258 (age 21.100s) hex dump (first 8 bytes): 6c 6f 6f 70 30 00 00 00 loop0... backtrace: kstrdup+0x36/0x70 mm/util.c:60 kstrdup_const+0x53/0x80 mm/util.c:83 kvasprintf_const+0x108/0x190 lib/kasprintf.c:48 kobject_set_name_vargs+0x56/0x150 lib/kobject.c:289 kobject_add_varg lib/kobject.c:384 [inline] kobject_init_and_add+0xc9/0x160 lib/kobject.c:473 nilfs_sysfs_create_device_group+0x150/0x800 fs/nilfs2/sysfs.c:999 init_nilfs+0xe26/0x12b0 fs/nilfs2/the_nilfs.c:637 Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20210612140559.20022-1-paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx Fixes: da7141fb78db ("nilfs2: add /sys/fs/nilfs2/<device> group") Signed-off-by: Pavel Skripkin <paskripkin@xxxxxxxxx> Acked-by: Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Michael L.
