The reference counting issue happens in the normal path of
kfree_at_end(). When kunit_alloc_and_get_resource() is invoked, the
function forgets to handle the returned resource object, whose refcount
increased inside, causing a refcount leak.

Fix this issue by calling kunit_alloc_resource() instead of
kunit_alloc_and_get_resource().

Thanks!


Thank you for the fix.

Applied now after fixing a checkpatch alignment check to

git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shuah/linux-kselftest.git/
kunit-fixes branch.

Please remember to run checkpatch.pl before sending patches.

thanks,
