[PATCH] perf pmu: Fix a potential memory leak in perf_pmu__lookup()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The commit in Fixes has reordered some code, but missed an error handling
path.

'goto err' now, in order to avoid a memory leak in case of error.

Fixes: f63a536f03a2 ("perf pmu: Merge JSON events with sysfs at load time")
