From 5802294f1b1895ee19a3d0ae72805da453afb9de Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Steven Rostedt Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2008 14:20:55 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: trace fix possible mem-leak In the initialization of the RCU trace module, if rcupreempt_debugfs_init() fails, we never free the the trace buffer. This patch frees the trace buffer in case the debugfs fails. Signed-off-by: Steven Rostedt Reviewed-by: "Paul E.
