Subject: [for-linus][PATCH 2/4] ftrace: Fix memory leak caused by not freeing entry in unregister_ftrace_direct()
Date: Thu, 23 Apr 2020 19:18:40 -0400	[thread overview]
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):
  comm "modprobe", pid 1766, jiffies 4294792031 (age 162.568s)
  hex dump (first 32 bytes):

    [<00000000a0cdc49e>] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x49/0xb3

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