Subject: [PATCH 3.16 290/306] perf: Do not double free
3.16.40-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Peter Zijlstra <peterz@...radead.org>
commit 130056275ade730e7a79c110212c8815202773ee upstream.
In case of: err_file: fput(event_file), we'll end up calling
perf_release() which in turn will free the event.
Do not then free the event _again_.
