From b9fba67b3806e21b98bd5a98dc3921a8e9b42d61 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Tobin C. Harding" Date: Fri, 31 May 2019 22:30:29 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] ocfs2: fix error path kobject memory leak 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.
