[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.4 12/12] nilfs2: fix memory leak in nilfs_sysfs_delete_snapshot_group

From: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>
Date: 2021-09-13 22:39:33
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), nilfs2 filesystem, the rest · Maintainers: Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Ryusuke Konishi, Viacheslav Dubeyko, Linus Torvalds

From: Nanyong Sun <redacted>

[ Upstream commit 17243e1c3072b8417a5ebfc53065d0a87af7ca77 ]

kobject_put() should be used to cleanup the memory associated with the
kobject instead of kobject_del().  See the section "Kobject removal" of
"Documentation/core-api/kobject.rst".
