commit e32773357d5cc271b1d23550b3ed026eb5c2a468 upstream. A failed call to kobject_init_and_add() must be followed by a call to kobject_put(). Currently in the error path when adding fs_devices we are missing this call. This could be fixed by calling btrfs_sysfs_remove_fsid() if btrfs_sysfs_add_fsid() returns an error or by adding a call to kobject_put() directly in btrfs_sysfs_add_fsid(). Here we choose the second option because it prevents the slightly unusual error path handling requirements of kobject from leaking out into btrfs functions. Add a call to kobject_put() in the error path of kobject_add_and_init(). This causes the release method to be called if kobject_init_and_add() fails. open_tree() is the function that calls btrfs_sysfs_add_fsid() and the error code in this function is already written with the assumption that the release method is called during the error path of open_tree() (as seen by the call to btrfs_sysfs_remove_fsid() under the fail_fsdev_sysfs label).

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
