- f2fs_register_sysfs
  - kobject_init_and_add(&sbi->s_stat_kobj, ..)

/**
  * kobject_init_and_add() - Initialize a kobject structure and add it to
  *                          the kobject hierarchy.
...
  *
  * This function combines the call to kobject_init() and kobject_add().
...
  */

/**
  * kobject_del() - Unlink kobject from hierarchy.
  * @kobj: object.
  *
  * This is the function that should be called to delete an object
  * successfully added via kobject_add().
  */

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
