Subject: [PATCH 1/2] perf tools: Fix crash in perf_hpp__reset_output_field
Date: Thu, 1 Jun 2017 13:17:43 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170601111744.15580-1-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
Du Changbin reported crash [1] when calling perf_hpp__reset_output_field
after unregistering field via perf_hpp__column_unregister.
This ends up in calling following list_del* sequence on
the same format:
perf_hpp__column_unregister:
list_del(&format->list);
perf_hpp__reset_output_field:
list_del_init(&fmt->list);
where the later list_del_init might touch already
freed formats.
Fixing this by replacing list_del with list_del_init
in perf_hpp__column_unregister.
