5.15-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Armin Wolf <W_Armin@xxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 7295a996fdab7bf83dc3d4078fa8b139b8e0a1bf ] If a duplicate attribute is found using kset_find_obj(), a reference to that attribute is returned. This means that we need to dispose it accordingly. Use kobject_put() to dispose the duplicate attribute in such a case. Compile-tested only.
