From c269fc8c537d761f36cb98e637ae934d9331a9d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Zanussi Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 01:20:59 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] tracing: fix leak in event_format_read() Impact: fix memory leak If event_format_read() exits early due to nonzero ppos, the previous kmalloc doesn't get freed - might as well do the check before the kmalloc and avoid the problem.
