# \[PATCH 4.9 092/207\] cpuidle: Fix kobject memory leaks in error paths - From: Greg Kroah-Hartman \ - Date: 2021-11-24 12:21:41 - List: stable - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2021/11/1584030 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/stable/2021/11/1583929/t/2.md ```text From: Anel Orazgaliyeva [ Upstream commit e5f5a66c9aa9c331da5527c2e3fd9394e7091e01 ] Commit c343bf1ba5ef ("cpuidle: Fix three reference count leaks") fixes the cleanup of kobjects; however, it removes kfree() calls altogether, leading to memory leaks. Fix those and also defer the initialization of dev->kobj_dev until after the error check, so that we do not end up with a dangling pointer.
