From d8bd8c6e2cfab8b78b537715255be8d7557791c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ard Biesheuvel Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 18:15:49 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] efi/efivars: Add missing kobject_put() in sysfs entry creation error path MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The documentation provided by kobject_init_and_add() clearly spells out the need to call kobject_put() on the kobject if an error is returned. Add this missing call to the error path.
