Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] perf kvm: Fix a memory leak in the usage string
Date: Wed,  1 Jul 2026 12:41:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260701194153.401218-6-namhyung@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260701194153.401218-1-namhyung@kernel.org>

The first element of the kvm_usage string is allocated dynamically by
parse_options_subcommand() if it's NULL.  Callers should free it after
use.
