[PATCH] bcache: Fix memory leak when cache_alloc() return failed
From: Wu Bo
Date: Sat Sep 11 2021 - 03:39:57 EST
From: Wu Bo <wubo40@xxxxxxxxxx>
If cache_alloc() get error when register a cache device,
the ca->kobj is not initialized, the bch_cache_release() no chance
to be called. So "ca" object will not be released.
In addition, if register_cache_set() return failed
when register a cache device, kobject_put(&ca->kobj) will be called
and "ca" objects will be released in bch_cache_release() function.
But pr_notice() called after kobject_put(&ca->kobj),
the "ca->cache_dev_name" access memory that has been freed.
