Subject: [PATCH] pktcdvd : add kobject_put when kobject register fails
Date: Tue, 4 Dec 2007 09:31:44 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071204013144.GA2850@darkstar.lan> (raw)
Kobject_put should be called when kobject register functioin fails, so the the kobj ref count touch zero and then the proper cleanup routines will be called.
