Callback function amdgpu_xgmi_hive_release() in kobject_put() calls kfree(hive), So we don't need call kfree(hive) again.

This kobject_init_and_add error handling semantics is very unintuitive, and we keep stumbling over it. I wonder is there is a better way to handle this. Basically, this is what it looks like, when done correctly:
foo = kzalloc(sizeof(*foo), GFP_KERNEL); if (!foo) return -ENOMEM; r = kobject_init_and_add(&foo->kobj, &foo_type, &parent, "foo_name"); if (r) { /* OK, initialization failed, but I still need to * clean up manually as if the call had succeeded. */ kobject_put(&foo->kobj); /* Don't kfree foo, because that's already done by * a callback setup by the call that failed above. */ return r; }
Given that unintuitive behaviour, I'd argue that kobject_init_and_add fails as an abstraction. Code would be clearer, more intuitive and safer by calling kobject_init and kobject_add separately itself. kobject_init_and_add saves you typing exactly one line of code, and it's just not worth it:
foo = kzalloc(sizeof(*foo), GFP_KERNEL); if (!foo) return -ENOMEM; kobject_init(&foo->kobj, &foo_type); /* never fails */ r = kobject_add(&foo->kobj, &parent, "foo_name"); if (r) { /* since kobj_init succeeded, it's obvious that kobj_put * is the right thing to do to handle all the cleanup. */ kobject_put(&foo->kobj); return r; }
