[PATCH] block: fix memory leak in disk_register_independent_access_ranges
From: Miaoqian Lin
Date: Thu Jan 20 2022 - 05:10:34 EST
kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
According to the doc of kobject_init_and_add()
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object.
Fix this issue by adding kobject_put().
Callback function blk_ia_ranges_sysfs_release() in kobject_put()
can handle the pointer "iars" properly.
Fixes: a2247f19ee1c ("block: Add independent access ranges support")
