NAME¶
kobject_init - initialize a kobject structure
SYNOPSIS¶
void kobject_init(struct kobject * kobj, struct kobj_type * ktype);
ARGUMENTS¶
kobj
pointer to the kobject to initialize
ktype
pointer to the ktype for this kobject.
DESCRIPTION¶
This function will properly initialize a kobject such that it can then be passed to the kobject_add call.
After this function is called, the kobject MUST be cleaned up by a call to kobject_put, not by a call to kfree directly to ensure that all of the memory is cleaned up properly.
