Subject: [PATCH] block: fix memory leak in disk_register_independent_access_ranges
Date:   Thu, 20 Jan 2022 10:10:25 +0000
Message-Id: <20220120101025.22411-1-linmq006@gmail.com>
Precedence: bulk

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")
