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.
