Subject: [PATCH] tracing/filters: fix bug in copy_pred()
Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2009 03:26:42 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1237796802.7527.39.camel@charm-linux> (raw)
When making a copy of the predicate, pred->field_name needs to be
duplicated in the copy as well, otherwise bad things can happen due to
later multiple frees of the same string.
This affects only per-subsystem event filtering.
