[for-linus][PATCH 3/5] tracing: Fix memory leak in tracing_err_log_open()

From: Steven Rostedt
Date: Wed Jul 03 2019 - 10:48:52 EST


From: Takeshi Misawa <jeliantsurux@xxxxxxxxx>

When tracing_err_log_open() calls seq_open(), allocated memory is not freed.

kmemleak report:

unreferenced object 0xffff92c0781d1100 (size 128):
comm "tail", pid 15116, jiffies 4295163855 (age 22.704s)

Fix this by calling seq_release() in tracing_err_log_fops.release().
