From c58b43218c1a04a0bcf338ea47406c759ac28e11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Li Zefan Date: Tue, 1 Sep 2009 13:31:38 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] tracing/filters: Defer pred allocation, fix memory leak The predicates of an event and their filter structure are allocated when we create an event filter for the first time. These objects must be created once but each time we come with a new filter, we overwrite such pre-existing allocation, if any. Thus, this patch checks if the filter has already been allocated before going ahead.
