This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event() to the 6.0-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: tracing-fix-memory-leak-in-test_gen_synth_cmd-and-test_empty_synth_event.patch and it can be found in the queue-6.0 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From a4527fef9afe5c903c718d0cd24609fe9c754250 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Nov 2022 09:23:45 +0800 Subject: tracing: Fix memory leak in test_gen_synth_cmd() and test_empty_synth_event() From: Shang XiaoJing <shangxiaojing@xxxxxxxxxx> commit a4527fef9afe5c903c718d0cd24609fe9c754250 upstream. test_gen_synth_cmd() only free buf in fail path, hence buf will leak when there is no failure. Add kfree(buf) to prevent the memleak.
