When the device drivers are initialized, a sysfs directory
is created. This contains many attributes which are allocated with
kzalloc(). Should it fail, the memory for the attributes already
created is freed in attr_event_free(). Its second parameter is number
of attribute elements to delete. This parameter is off by one.
When i. e. the 10th attribute fails to get created, attributes
numbered 0 to 9 should be deleted. Currently only attributes
numbered 0 to 8 are deleted.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
