Following the rules stated in the comment for kobject_init_and_add(): If this function returns an error, kobject_put() must be called to properly clean up the memory associated with the object. We should use kobject_put() to free kobject. But we can't simply add kobject_put() since it will free kmem_cache too. If we use kobject_put(), we need to skip other release functions. In this series, We refactor the code to separate sysfs_slab_add() and debugfs_slab_add() from __kmem_cache_create(), and then use kobject_put() to free kobject in sysfs_slab_add(). This can fix the memory leak of kobject->name. v1->v2: Fix build error reported by kernel test robot .
