From 585fb3d93d32dbe89e718b85009f9c322cc554cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pan Bian Date: Thu, 18 Apr 2019 10:27:18 +0800 Subject: EDAC/sysfs: Fix memory leak when creating a csrow object In edac_create_csrow_object(), the reference to the object is not released when adding the device to the device hierarchy fails (device_add()). This may result in a memory leak.
