[PATCH 5.10 081/236] libbpf: Fix the possible memory leak on error

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Sep 13 2021 - 09:37:45 EST


From: Shuyi Cheng <chengshuyi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 18353c87e0e0440d4c7c746ed740738bbc1b538e ]

If the strdup() fails then we need to call bpf_object__close(obj) to
avoid a resource leak.

Fixes: 166750bc1dd2 ("libbpf: Support libbpf-provided extern variables")
