[PATCH 3.16 035/233] uio: fix incorrect memory leak cleanup

From: Ben Hutchings
Date: Sat Sep 09 2017 - 19:41:03 EST


3.16.48-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Suman Anna <s-anna@xxxxxx>

commit 0d83539092ddb1ab79b4d65bccb866bf07ea2ccd upstream.

Commit 75f0aef6220d ("uio: fix memory leak") has fixed up some
memory leaks during the failure paths of the addition of uio
attributes, but still is not correct entirely. A kobject_uevent()
failure still needs a kobject_put() and the kobject container
structure allocation failure before the kobject_init() doesn't
need a kobject_put(). Fix this properly.

Fixes: 75f0aef6220d ("uio: fix memory leak")
