Subject: [PATCH] ACPI: sysfs: Fix reference count leak in acpi_sysfs_add_hotplug_profile.
Date:   Wed, 27 May 2020 16:17:17 -0500
Message-Id: <20200527211717.14956-1-wu000273@umn.edu>
Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org
Precedence: bulk

From: Qiushi Wu <wu000273@umn.edu>

kobject_init_and_add() takes reference even when it fails.
Thus, when kobject_init_and_add() returns an error,
kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the kobject.

Fixes: 3f8055c35836 ("ACPI / hotplug: Introduce user space interface for hotplug profiles")
