[PATCH 3/6] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_create_##name##_group

From: Nanyong Sun
Date: Mon Jun 28 2021 - 21:54:50 EST


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.
