[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.8 13/72] EDAC: Fix reference count leaks

From: Sasha Levin
Date: Sat Aug 08 2020 - 19:36:08 EST


From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@xxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 17ed808ad243192fb923e4e653c1338d3ba06207 ]

When kobject_init_and_add() returns an error, it should be handled
because kobject_init_and_add() takes a reference even when it fails. If
this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly
clean up the memory associated with the object.

Therefore, replace calling kfree() and call kobject_put() and add a
missing kobject_put() in the edac_device_register_sysfs_main_kobj()
error path.

[ bp: Massage and merge into a single patch. ]
