Subject: [PATCH 1/3] ksym_tracer: Fix breakpoint removal after modification
Date: Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:35:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1259210142-5714-1-git-send-regression-fweisbec@gmail.com> (raw)
The error path of a breakpoint modification is broken in
the ksym tracer. A modified breakpoint hlist node is immediately
released after its removal. Also we leak a breakpoint in this
case.
Fix the path.
