Subject: [PATCH] tracing: Free module_delta on freeing of persistent ring buffer
Date: Tue, 1 Apr 2025 12:45:25 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250401124525.1f9ac02a@gandalf.local.home> (raw)

From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>

If a persistent ring buffer is created, a "module_delta" array is also
allocated to hold the module deltas of loaded modules that match modules
in the scratch area. If this buffer gets freed, the module_delta array is
not freed and causes a memory leak.

Fixes: 35a380ddbc65 ("tracing: Show last module text symbols in the stacktrace")
