From b2fe39c248f3fa4bbb2a20759b4fdd83504190f7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nanyong Sun Date: Tue, 7 Sep 2021 20:00:21 -0700 Subject: nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_snapshot_group If kobject_init_and_add returns 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.
