Subject: [PATCH] cpufreq: Avoid double kobject_put() for the same kobject in error code path
Date: Thu, 01 Aug 2013 23:31:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2204970.DYsqYi7YjZ@vostro.rjw.lan> (raw)

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The only case triggering a jump to the err_out_unregister label in
__cpufreq_add_dev() is when cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails.
However, if cpufreq_add_dev_interface() fails, it calls kobject_put()
for the policy kobject in its error code path and since that causes
the kobject's refcount to become 0, the additional kobject_put() for
the same kobject under err_out_unregister and the
wait_for_completion() following it are pointless, so drop them.
