Subject: Re: [PATCH] workqueue: Fix possible memory leaks in wq_numa_init()

Hello, Tejun

I think it would be better to fix it.
There have been several tries, sorted by date:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1418379595-6281-2-git-send-email-laijs@cn.fujitsu.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1442457835-24238-1-git-send-email-xlpang@126.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1452170339-26748-3-git-send-email-wanghaibin.wang@huawei.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/1533518439-3982-1-git-send-email-wang.yi59@zte.com.cn/

And this one.

Thanks
Lai
