Revert "mm/slub: fix a memory leak in sysfs_slab_add()"
commit 757fed1d0898b893d7daa84183947c70f27632f3 upstream.
This reverts commit dde3c6b72a16c2db826f54b2d49bdea26c3534a2.
syzbot report a double-free bug. The following case can cause this bug.
- mm/slab_common.c: create_cache(): if the __kmem_cache_create() fails,
it does:
out_free_cache:
kmem_cache_free(kmem_cache, s);
- but __kmem_cache_create() - at least for slub() - will have done
sysfs_slab_add(s)
-> sysfs_create_group() .. fails ..
-> kobject_del(&s->kobj); .. which frees s ...
We can't remove the kmem_cache_free() in create_cache(), because other
error cases of __kmem_cache_create() do not free this.
So, revert the commit dde3c6b72a16 ("mm/slub: fix a memory leak in
sysfs_slab_add()") to fix this.
