Subject: [PATCH v13 31/32] perf kwork: Fix address sanitizer issues
Date: Tue, 12 May 2026 15:30:00 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260512223001.2952848-32-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260512223001.2952848-1-irogers@google.com>

There is a double free in the record array due to how parse_options
will mutate the array. Fix by keeping an array that isn't
mutated. Ensure kwork_usage is freed on all paths.
