Message-ID: <20200423231920.252506175@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20200423231838.682478056@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
kmemleak reported the following:
unreferenced object 0xffff90d47127a920 (size 32):

The entry used to save the direct descriptor needs to be freed
when unregistering.
