Subject: [PATCH] bonding: Fix reference count leak in bond_sysfs_slave_add.
Date:   Wed, 27 May 2020 22:10:29 -0500
Message-Id: <20200528031029.11078-1-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.
If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to
properly clean up the memory associated with the object. Previous
commit "b8eb718348b8" fixed a similar problem.

Fixes: 07699f9a7c8d ("bonding: add sysfs /slave dir for bond slave devices.")
