From: Nanyong Sun <sunnanyong@huawei.com> stable inclusion from stable-5.10.69 commit 5acb21e30d85f90b658bae7fb3f53b5e42952292 bugzilla: 182675 https://gitee.com/openeuler/kernel/issues/I4I3ED Reference: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/commit/?id=... -------------------------------- [ Upstream commit 24f8cb1ed057c840728167dab33b32e44147c86f ] If kobject_init_and_add return 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.
