From 24f8cb1ed057c840728167dab33b32e44147c86f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nanyong Sun Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 20:00:15 -0700 Subject: nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_##name##_group If kobject_init_and_add return with error, kobject_put() is needed here to avoid memory leak, because kobject_init_and_add may return error without freeing the memory associated with the kobject it allocated.
