Subject: [PATCH] perf header: Fix memory leaks
Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2021 12:17:30 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211118201730.2302927-1-irogers@google.com> (raw)

These leaks were found with leak sanitizer running "perf pipe recording
and injection test". In pipe mode feat_fd may hold onto an events struct
that needs freeing. When string features are processed they may
overwrite an already created string, so free this before the overwrite.
