Subject: [PATCH 1/4] oprofile: Handle initialisation failure more gracefully
Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2010 20:09:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <442a16796990290ca3ebaaa3d0ab317e7b0a30a5.1282848651.git.matt@console-pimps.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1282848651.git.matt@console-pimps.org>
From: Will Deacon <will.deacon@arm.com>
The current implementation is not entirely safe in the case that
oprofile_arch_init() fails. We need to make sure that we always call
exit_driverfs() if we've called init_driverfs(). Also, avoid a potential
double free when freeing 'counter_config', e.g. don't free
'counter_config' in both oprofile_arch_init() and oprofile_arch_exit().
