From 50a2740b839ece03b305facd3fc07cdc3b74247c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Namhyung Kim Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2013 11:20:44 +0900 Subject: [PATCH] perf header: Fix possible memory leaks in process_group_desc() After processing all group descriptors or encountering an error, it frees all descriptors. However, current logic can leak memory since it might not traverse all descriptors. Note that the 'i' can have different value than nr_groups when an error occurred and it's safe to call free(desc[i].name) for every desc since we already make it NULL when it's reused for group names.
