Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] perf-probe: Fix memory leakage when the probe point is not found
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2020 22:11:23 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <159438668346.62703.10887420400718492503.stgit@devnote2> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <159438665389.62703.13848613271334658629.stgit@devnote2>

Fix the memory leakage in debuginfo__find_trace_events() when the probe
point is not found in the debuginfo. If there is no probe point found in
the debuginfo, debuginfo__find_probes() will NOT return -ENOENT, but 0.
Thus the caller of debuginfo__find_probes() must check the tf.ntevs and
release the allocated memory for the array of struct probe_trace_event.

The current code releases the memory only if the debuginfo__find_probes()
hits an error but not checks tf.ntevs. In the result, the memory allocated
on *tevs are not released if tf.ntevs == 0.

This fixes the memory leakage by checking tf.ntevs == 0 in addition to
ret < 0.
