s390/cpumf: Fix double free on error in cpumf_pmu_event_init()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
commit aa1ac98 upstream.

In PMU event initialization functions
 - cpumsf_pmu_event_init()
 - cpumf_pmu_event_init()
 - cfdiag_event_init()
the partially created event had to be removed when an error was detected.
The event::event_init() member function had to release all resources
it allocated in case of error. event::destroy() had to be called
on freeing an event after it was successfully created and
event::event_init() returned success.

With

commit c70ca29 ("perf/core: Simplify the perf_event_alloc() error path")

this is not necessary anymore. The performance subsystem common
code now always calls event::destroy() to clean up the allocated
resources created during event initialization.

Remove the event::destroy() invocation in PMU event initialization
or that function is called twice for each event that runs into an
error condition in event creation.

This is the kernel log entry which shows up without the fix:
