Subject: [PATCH 1/2] tools lib traceevent: Do not free tep->cmdlines in add_new_comm() on failure
Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2019 15:05:28 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190828191819.970121417@goodmis.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20190828190527.680021737@goodmis.org
From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>
If the re-allocation of tep->cmdlines succeeds, then the previous allocation
of tep->cmdlines will be freed. If we later fail in add_new_comm(), we must
not free cmdlines, and also should assign tep->cmdlines to the new
allocation. Otherwise when freeing tep, the tep->cmdlines will be pointing
to garbage.
