Useful, that kasan doesn't use POISON_FREE... :/

So this would be swevent_hlist_get_cpu()'s swevent_hlist allocation.

And this would be the corresponding free:

  sw_perf_event_destroy()
  swevent_hlist_put()
  swevent_hlist_put_cpu()
  swevent_hlist_release()

Which would suggest a refcounting boo-boo, cute.


Does your trinity do hotplug while creating/destroying events?
