Subject: perf: Fix resource leak in failure path of perf_event_open()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc7~30^2
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=048c852051d2bd5da54a4488bc1f16b0fc74c695;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

perf: Fix resource leak in failure path of perf_event_open()

perf_event_open() kfrees event after init failure which doesn't
release all resources allocated by perf_event_alloc().  Use
free_event() instead.
