If a call to kobject_init_and_add() fails we must call kobject_put() otherwise we leak memory. Calling kobject_put() when kobject_init_and_add() fails drops the refcount back to 0 and calls the ktype release method (which in turn calls the percpu destroy and kfree). Add call to kobject_put() in the error path of call to kobject_init_and_add(). Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v4.4+ Reviewed-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> Signed-off-by: Tobin C.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
