[ Upstream commit8a94644b44] kobject_init_and_add() takes a reference even when it fails. If it returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to clean up the memory associated with the object. When kobject_init_and_add() fails, call kobject_put() instead of kfree().b8eb718348("net-sysfs: Fix reference count leak in rx|netdev_queue_add_kobject") fixed a similar problem.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
