Subject: [PATCH 5/6] kconfig: Don't leak help strings during parsing
Date: Sun, 8 Oct 2017 19:11:22 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1507482683-22651-6-git-send-email-ulfalizer@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1507482683-22651-1-git-send-email-ulfalizer@gmail.com>
This is just for completeness to get rid of the last memory leak
currently generated during parsing for ARCH=x86. The symbol
DVB_NETUP_UNIDVB in drivers/media/pci/netup_unidvb/Kconfig currently has
two help strings, and we leak the first one.
Summary from Valgrind on 'menuconfig' (ARCH=x86) before the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 344,440 bytes in 14,350 blocks
...
Summary after the fix:
LEAK SUMMARY:
definitely lost: 344,376 bytes in 14,349 blocks
...
