Subject[PATCH] mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()
Date
syzkaller reports for memory leak when kobject_init_and_add()
returns an error in the function sysfs_slab_add() [1]

When this happened, the function kobject_put() is not called for the
corresponding kobject, which potentially leads to memory leak.

This patch fixes the issue by calling kobject_put() even if
kobject_init_and_add() fails.

[1]
BUG: memory leak
unreferenced object 0xffff8880a6d4be88 (size 8):
comm "syz-executor.3", pid 946, jiffies 4295772514 (age 18.396s)
hex dump (first 8 bytes):
