From f5a04f3db3adaa605e951ae9f46708da63979bda Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xiaotian Feng <dfeng@redhat.com> Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2009 11:12:27 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] slub: fix kmem_cache wrongly freed in kmem_cache_create
commit a0e1d1b move sysfs operations outside of slub_lock, but wrongly freed kmem_cache in any cases (should only free kmem_cache when open failed).
