[PATCH 07/10] tools lib traceevent: Do not reassign parg after collapse_tree()

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo
Date: Thu May 12 2016 - 16:04:14 EST


From: Steven Rostedt <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx>

At the end of process_filter(), collapse_tree() was changed to update
the parg parameter, but the reassignment after the call wasn't removed.

What happens is that the "current_op" gets modified and freed and parg
is assigned to the new allocated argument. But after the call to
collapse_tree(), parg is assigned again to the just freed "current_op",
and this causes the tool to crash.

The current_op variable must also be assigned to NULL in case of error,
otherwise it will cause it to be free()ed twice.
