From 24d2a86b89683e99745a4df0c0edce5d28be519e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Tobin C. Harding" Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 12:52:12 +1000 Subject: [PATCH] bridge: Fix error path for kobject_init_and_add() [ Upstream commit bdfad5aec1392b93495b77b864d58d7f101dc1c1 ] Currently error return from kobject_init_and_add() is not followed by a call to kobject_put(). This means there is a memory leak. We currently set p to NULL so that kfree() may be called on it as a noop, the code is arguably clearer if we move the kfree() up closer to where it is called (instead of after goto jump). Remove a goto label 'err1' and jump to call to kobject_put() in error return from kobject_init_and_add() fixing the memory leak. Re-name goto label 'put_back' to 'err1' now that we don't use err1, following current nomenclature (err1, err2 ...). Move call to kfree out of the error code at bottom of function up to closer to where memory was allocated. Add comment to clarify call to kfree(). Signed-off-by: Tobin C.
