Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tracing/filters: free filter_string in destroy_preds()
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 16:39:12 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A375A30.9060802@cn.fujitsu.com> (raw)

filter->filter_string is not freed when unloading a module:

 # insmod trace-events-sample.ko
 # echo "bar < 100" > /mnt/tracing/events/sample/foo_bar/filter
 # rmmod trace-events-sample.ko

[ Impact: fix memory leak when unloading module ]
