Subject: [PATCH] parisc: pdc_stable: Fix memory leak in pdcs_register_pathentries
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 12:18:12 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220120121812.14943-1-linmq006@gmail.com> (raw)

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add():

   If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
   properly clean up the memory associated with the object.

Fix memory leak by calling kobject_put().

Fixes: 73f368cf679b ("Kobject: change drivers/parisc/pdc_stable.c to use kobject_init_and_add")
